Renewal and DS-11 applications follow different steps.
Before paying fees or preparing documents, confirm which form and in-person requirements apply to your passport situation.
Eligible adult renewal
Many adults who qualify to renew use Form DS-82. A qualifying renewal does not use the same acceptance-facility process as a first-time DS-11 application.
- Bring or provide your most recent passport information.
- Confirm that you meet the current DS-82 renewal requirements.
- Prepare a compliant passport photo and any required name-change evidence.
- Give the Chicago team your actual departure date before choosing a private service speed.
First-time, child or other DS-11 case
First-time adult applicants, children under 16, and many applicants who cannot use DS-82 file with Form DS-11 and must appear in person at an authorized acceptance facility.
- Citizenship evidence and acceptable identification are required.
- The application is signed when instructed during the in-person process.
- A separate acceptance-facility fee applies to DS-11 applications.
- The Chicago office can review the paperwork before submission to help identify missing items.
