This article will cover what you need to get a us passport.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The first thing you need to do is fill out a DS-11 form, which is the application for a us passport. Make sure you do NOT sign the form until the acceptance agent tells you too.

  2. Step 2

    You will need at least one of the following as evidence of US citizenship:

    [Previously issued us passport]
    [Birth Certificate]
    [Naturalization Certificate]
    [Certificate of Citizenship]

  3. Step 3

    You will need your social security card as well as one of the following as proof of identification:

    [Previous Passport]
    [Naturalization Certificate]
    [Valid Drivers License]
    [Government ID]
    [Military ID]

  4. Step 4

    You will need to photocopy all of the identification documents and proof of citizenship that you bring. Ensure the front and back are copied.

  5. Step 5

    You will need to provide two passport photos. Do not use photographs of you wearing a hat or sunglasses. If you use prescription glasses, hearing devices or anything else that you wear everyday, wear it for the picture. The photo should be no more than 6 months old and two inches by two inches in size taken with a white or off white background.
