Passport Forms

Less Common Passport Forms

• If Your Passport Was Lost Or Stolen

  Fill out Form DS-64 by downloading and printing it or through the State Department's online form filler. You will need to submit this form, along with a DS-11, to apply for a new passport.

• If You Are Applying for a Passport for a Minor

  Minors must be present when applying for a passport. Both parents or guardians are generally required to be present when applying for a child's passport. If that's not possible, additional documentation will be needed depending on your situation. For all situations, you will also need to submit a completed DS-11 form.
