Frequently Asked Questions — Form DS-11
What is Form DS-11?
Form DS-11 is the U.S. Department of State's application form for a U.S. Passport. You use it when applying for your first passport, replacing a passport issued before you were 16, replacing a lost or stolen passport, or applying for a passport for a child under 16. Adults renewing a relatively recent, undamaged adult passport use Form DS-82 instead.
Can I sign the DS-11 before my appointment?
No. You must sign Form DS-11 in the presence of the passport acceptance agent at the facility. Signing before you arrive invalidates the form — you'll need to start over. Fill in all other fields in advance, but leave the signature section blank until you're at the counter.
What documents do I need?
You need: (1) Proof of U.S. citizenship — a certified birth certificate, prior U.S. passport, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or naturalization certificate. (2) A valid government-issued photo ID — driver's license, military ID, or permanent resident card. (3) One passport photo meeting State Department specs: 2×2 inches, white background, taken within 6 months. (4) Payment: $130 application fee plus typically a $35 execution fee at the acceptance facility.
How long does passport processing take?
Routine processing: 6 to 8 weeks. Expedited processing (add $60): approximately 2 to 3 weeks. Life-or-death emergency appointments at a passport agency: same-day to 3 business days. These timeframes can vary significantly during peak travel seasons. Check travel.state.gov for current processing times before applying.
What's the difference between DS-11 and DS-82?
DS-82 is for adults (16+) renewing a passport that is less than 15 years old, was issued at age 16 or older, is not damaged, and has not been reported lost or stolen. DS-82 can be mailed without appearing in person. DS-11 is for everyone else — first timers, minors, and those whose prior passport doesn't meet those criteria. DS-11 always requires an in-person appearance.
What are the rules for minors under 16?
Children under 16 must apply in person with both parents or legal guardians present. If one parent cannot attend, the absent parent submits Form DS-3053 (Statement of Consent), notarized. If one parent has sole legal custody, bring supporting court documentation. The child's passport is valid for 5 years rather than the 10 years for adults.
Where can I submit Form DS-11?
At any official passport acceptance facility: most U.S. Post Offices, federal or state courts, public libraries, and some local government offices. Search for locations at iafdb.travel.state.gov. For urgent travel, make an appointment directly at a passport agency (available to U.S. travelers departing within 14 days).
Is this the official State Department Form DS-11?
Yes. PDF Edit loads the DS-11 PDF published by the U.S. Department of State. We do not recreate or modify the form. Always verify at travel.state.gov that you have the current version before your appointment.

About Form DS-11
When to Use DS-11
Use DS-11 when applying for your first U.S. Passport. Also for: replacing a passport issued when you were under 16, replacing a lost or stolen passport, applying for a child under 16, or if your most recent passport was issued more than 15 years ago.
Passport Book vs. Passport Card
The DS-11 covers both. The passport book ($130) is accepted worldwide for air, sea, and land travel. The passport card ($30) is valid only for land and sea border crossings between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda. Most travelers should get the book; get both if you regularly cross land borders.
The Signature Rule
The most common DS-11 error is signing the form before arriving at the acceptance facility. The signature must be witnessed by the acceptance agent. Applicants who pre-sign must complete a new, unsigned form.
Passport Photo Requirements
2×2 inch (51×51 mm) photo taken within the last 6 months. White or off-white background. Full face, front view. Eyes open and looking at the camera. Neutral expression or natural smile. No glasses (since 2016). Head coverings only for religious reasons. Photo taken in appropriate lighting without glare.
Processing Times
Processing times fluctuate significantly. Routine processing is typically 6–8 weeks; expedited ($60 extra) is about 2–3 weeks. During peak spring and summer seasons, times may extend. Always check the current estimated times at travel.state.gov before deciding whether to pay for expedited service.
Official Source
Form DS-11 is published by the U.S. Department of State. PDF Edit loads this document directly from the State Department. Official passport information is at travel.state.gov — the authoritative source for fees, appointment availability, and current processing times.
