  • Identification, including a copy, is required to prove U.S. citizenship, such as:

  • Certificate of citizenship
  • In addition, one current ID is required, such as:
  • Naturalization certificate
  • Valid driver's license
  • Current government ID (city, state or federal)
  • Current military ID (military and dependents)

The passport application also requires a recent passport photograph (2” by 2”). Photos can be taken at participating Post Offices for a $15 fee.

The cost for a passport book is $145 for adults (16 years and older), with separate payments of $110 paid to the State Department for the passport application fee and $35 to the Postal Service for its processing fee (set by the Department of State). For persons under 16, the cost is $115, with separate payments of $80 and $35 respectively.

The cost of passport cards for adults (16 years and older) is $65 -- $35 in a separate payment to the U.S. Postal Service for the processing fee and a $30 separate payment to the State Department for the passport application fee. The passport card cost for those under 16 is $50 -- $35 in a separate payment to the U.S. Postal Service for its processing fee and a $15 separate payment to the State Department for the passport application fee. Children under 16 must be accompanied by both parents when applying for a passport or passport card.

To make the process as quick as possible, applicants are strongly encouraged to print and complete their applications ahead of time by going online. Use only black ink and do not sign the application form, as the passport acceptance clerk must witness the signing. Customers may also obtain a form at any passport office.

In most cases, passport renewals do not require an in-person application process. Full information is available at travel.state.gov.
