How do I fill out the US passport application?

Instructions are on the back of each application.

NOTE: It is very important that you follow the instructions carefully. Any error can lead to rejection and, consequently, delays in your travel plans.

A US passport service can offer personal assistance in filling out US passport applications that the U.S. Department of State cannot provide. Many expeditors provide an e-mail address, a toll-free telephone number and even online assistance. Our highest recommendation goes to It's Easy Passport.
