How to Prepare for the Passport Application Process

• Bring proper proof of American citizenship. This must be either a certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state; a previous U.S. passport; a certificate of citizenship; or a naturalization certificate. (Please note: a hospital-issued birth certificate alone is not acceptable.)
• Bring proof of identity. This must be either: a recently issued U.S. passport; a recently issued naturalization certificate; a recently issued certificate of citizenship; or a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID.
• Bring a photocopy of proof of identity. Each applicant must bring a photocopy of the front and back of the ID that will be presented at the time of passport acceptance.
• The passport application requires recent color passport photograph of you (2” x 2” in size). The Post Office will offer passport photo service for $15.  
• To save time, employees should download the passport application at www.travel.state.gov and complete beforehand in black ink. Do not sign the application.
• All applicants, including minors, must appear in person.
• Minors under the age of 16 must appear with both parents. If one parent is not available, a notarized authorization from the absent parent is required.
