A Few Things to Know, Before You Start...
-
Before applying for your first U.S. passport, it is important to understand that all first-time applicants must apply in person using Form DS-11 at an authorized passport acceptance facility.
-
One common mistake is signing Form DS-11 before your appointment. Do not sign the application until instructed to do so by the passport acceptance agent.
-
Finally, review all documents carefully before your appointment. Missing paperwork, incorrect photos, unsigned forms, or incomplete information are among the most common reasons for delays. Having everything prepared in advance can help ensure a smooth application process and avoid the need for a second visit.
