Documentary Evidence Needed to Process an Application for a U.S. Passport

In order to obtain a U.S. passport, U.S. citizens should be prepared to provide the following:

  1. Proof of U.S. citizenship: You must either provide your most recently issued passport, an original U.S. birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a naturalization certificate.  You must also have photo identification.  A driver's license, social security card, or a voter registration card does not constitute proof of citizenship.  ***Applicants may be required to provide additional identifying documentation, which may include, but is not limited to, photographs, medical records, or school records.***

  2. Two 2” by 2” (5 cm x 5 cm) color photos (front view, full face and plain white or off-white background). The ACS Unit now offers a photo service that can take passport photos for U.S. passport applications only. This photo service is offered within the waiting area at the Consulate. Please note that this is simply another option as part of our effort to improve service. It is not mandatory that you obtain your photo at the Consulate; you may still obtain passport photos prior to coming to the Consulate.

  3. Application form completely filled out (typed or handwritten using black or blue ink).  You can print the form you need and have it ready at the time of going to the Consular section by visiting: http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms_overview.html

  4. Application fee (cash only: U.S. dollars or Dominican pesos).
