Who it is for
New or first time passport.
To obtain a new or first time passport you must meet one of the following requirements.
You qualify if
- You are applying for your first U.S. passport
- Your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16
- Your previous U.S. passport was issued more than 15 years ago
If your passport expired within the last 15 years and you were 16 or older when it was issued, you qualify for passport renewal instead, which has a simpler process.
Applying for a child under 16? See child or minor passport. Replacing a passport that is gone or damaged? See lost, stolen or damaged.
The sealed package
After we review your supporting documents, you must appear in person at an authorized Passport Acceptance Facility and get a sealed package. If your application qualifies for courier expediting, bring the sealed package back to our office so we can continue the expedited handling process.
When making your appearance, you will pay a Government Fee and a separate execution fee. They will put all of your documents including your check and original documents in a sealed package, and hand it back to you.
Government Fees can be paid via checks (personal, certified, cashier's, traveler's) and money orders payable to “U.S. Department of State”. Credit and debit cards CANNOT be accepted.
Execution Fees can be paid via personal checks, money orders and credit or debit cards.
