What documents do you need for a passport
1. What Documents Do You Need For A Passport?
Anyone who is looking to travel abroad must carry a passport. Therefore, whether you require a normal passport,
quick passport or even if you are simply seeking a renewal of your passport, in each of these cases you will have
to submit some documents to get your passports made.
If you are a US citizen then you must know in advance that United States has some special passport requirements,
which must be met before a valid passport is issued to an applicant. If a person fails to produce the required
documents then he/she will not be issued a passport at all. Remember, the main purpose of asking for these
documents is to ensure whether a person has US citizenship or not. Besides, the passport department may also
want to find out about your personal history.
Therefore, if you wish to procure a passport then you must produce the necessary documents that include:
A Certified Birth certificate
A Certified Certificate of citizenship
An expired passport
A letter of No Record, in cases where there is no official record of the applicant's birth. In this case the applicant
will have to produce proof of identity by producing documents including Military ID, national ID, or a driver's
license. You must also submit an acceptable passport size photo that you have got clicked within the last six
months.
Apart from producing these important documents, an applicant must also pay the application fees. In addition to
this, you must fill the application form correctly and submit the same in person or through mail depending on the
type of passport you are applying for. Passport requirements in the United States also stipulate that an applicant
must fill the DS-11 forms and then submit them in person to the accepting agency. One can download these forms
from the internet. However, the applicant is not supposed to sign the forms unless he/she is asked to do so by the
accepting agency.

documents.

passport locations that an applicant can visit if he/she wants to apply for a passport. In Washington alone, you will
