Applying for a U.S. passport for the first time is a DS-11 process — it must be done in person at an acceptance facility, with original citizenship evidence and a recent passport photo. Our service handles every step around that appearance: form preparation, document review, expedited agency routing, and round-trip courier shipping.
Who needs a New U.S. Passport Application?
You should file a new application (not a renewal) if any of these apply:
- This is your first U.S. passport
- Your last passport was issued before you turned 16
- Your last passport was issued more than 15 years ago
- Your last passport was lost, stolen, or significantly damaged
- Your name has changed and you cannot document the legal change
If you've held a valid adult passport within the last 15 years and still have it in undamaged condition, you likely qualify for a faster renewal instead.
What you'll need for a New Adult Passport Application
- Proof of U.S. citizenship — certified birth certificate (with raised seal) or naturalization certificate
- Government-issued photo ID — driver's license, military ID, or current government employee ID
- Photocopy of the front and back of your photo ID
- One passport photo — 2x2 inches, taken within the last 6 months
- Completed DS-11 — we generate this from your online intake
- Government fees — $130 application + $35 execution (paid at acceptance facility)
