Reminders
- You’ll need Adobe Acrobat to view the PDF forms and applications on this page. Download Acrobat Reader here.
- When printing the application, make sure the image of the application covers the entire page.
- You must print your form in the vertical, portrait format. Do not print your form horizontally. Doing so will cause delays with your application.
- After using the Form Filler tool, do not make handwritten corrections to the form after you’ve printed it. The Form Filler tool will create a unique barcode for your application, and handwriting on the form (except to sign your name) will delay processing of your application.
- The Form Filler works best if you are in the United States or renewing by mail from Canada. Visit the webpage of the U.S. embassy or consulate if you are applying for or renewing your U.S. passport in another country.
- You must print your form single-sided. We do not accept double-sided forms.
- You may use either our Form Filler or download the PDF version of your passport form if you are requesting a passport with an X gender marker.
Most Common Forms for a U.S. Passport
You may fill out these forms using an online Form Filler or by downloading a PDF of the application. The Form Filler tool is a shared resource for 4 of our forms. It’s common to enter your information and see a different form than you expected (for example, a DS-11 instead of a DS-82). The Form Filler will create the correct form for you based on the information you enter.
The Form Filler works best if you are applying for or renewing your U.S. passport in the United States or renewing by mail from Canada. If you need to apply for or renew your U.S. passport in another country, visit the webpage of the U.S. embassy or consulate in that country for more information.
