Conditions Of Acquiring A New Passport

Individuals, who do not have a passport or who have an expired passport

, should look online for ways to get a new United States passport. While the search and the process will not be horribly troublesome, it will be a process that takes time. So, instead of rushing at the last minute before that trip abroad, consider completing this task soon. For the individuals who are reading this advice too late, consider an independent expediting service.

Those individuals who do not have a passport and, in fact, have never had a passport will need to show up in-person to a governmentally mandated facility. Generally, a post office will be such a facility, but for a complete list of all the facilities that meet the stipulations of this in-person meeting, check online. When online, look for Form DS-11.

Form DS-11 will not be difficult to fill out, but it will require certain information. Individuals looking to fill it out should do it in front of a computer to make the acquiring of the necessary information easier. The form will ask such standard questions like name and social security number. However, it will also slightly delve into family history, which is why it would be a good idea to have set time aside for this task.

As well as filling out Form DS-11, individuals looking to get a pass port need to have certain documentation for proof of identity and whatnot. The first type of documentation needed will be a proof of citizenship. An individual can prove their citizenship with a birth certificate, or if an individual was born abroad, but still a U.S. citizen, a consular report of birth abroad will work. A certificate of citizenship will also work.

After proving citizenship, citizens will need to supply proof that they are who they say they are. This can be done multiple ways, as well. For instance, a valid driver's license will work for this. However, if an individual does not have access to any of the primary identification methods, he or she can use secondary identification methods. For a list of the appropriate methods, check the government's Web site.

The proof of identity has more stipulations than just what kind of proof can be used. An individual will need to supply a copy of this proof of identity. There are strict guidelines for how the copying process should go. Because this is all very complicated, it would be wise for an individual to keep the government's Web site open. This will help to avoid wasted time.

Individuals looking to get a new passport must also supply the photograph that will appear in the identification. Not much of a surprise, the government mandates specific stipulations that need to be followed regarding the size of the photographs as well as the time they were taken. A complete list of the stipulations can be found online.
