First Time Passports Applicants
 

If you are a U.S. citizen, but have never been issued a U.S. passport, you must apply in person at the U.S. Consulate General. Please, remember to first make an appointment you will need to submit:

  1. The DS-11 application form filled out but NOT signed. You will sign in the presence of the Consular officer;
  2. Proof of U.S. citizenship — please see our section on Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship for further information on what documents are acceptable to prove you are a U.S. citizen;
  3. Proof of identity (this can be any valid, government issued ID, e.g. foreign passport or driver's license, ID card, military ID or U.S. driver's license);
  4. Two photos (5cm x 5cm, white background);
  5. The appropriate fee.

Note: If you are applying for the first passport for a child under the age of 18, who was born overseas, you must first report the child's birth. Please see our section on Reporting a Birth Abroad.
