Photocopy of Identification for Passport Application

You must include a photocopy of the identication document that you present to the Acceptance Agent when submitting Form DS-11 for a new passport. These specific guidelines must be followed if you want the photocopy of your proof of identity to be accepted:

• The photocopy must be on plain white, 8 1/2 x 11" standard paper stock, showing the front and the back of your ID
• The photocopy must contain images on only one side of each page you submit.
  • If copies cannot be made on the same side of one page, you may make copies on two separate pages: one displaying the front of your ID and the second showing the back of your ID.
• The paper should be free of other images or markings.
• The 8 1/2 x 11" paper size cannot be substituted with a larger or smaller size paper, even if the alternative folds down to the 8 1/2 x 11" size.
• You may enlarge the image of your ID on the 8 1/2 x 11" page, but you may not decrease the size.
