travel.state.gov Passport Fees and Login : How to Apply for A Passport – Travel.gov
If you need to apply for or renew your U.S. passport in another country, visit the webpage travel.state.gov of the U.S. embassy or consulate in that country for more information.
You may fill out these forms using an online Form Filler or by downloading a PDF of the application. The Form Filler tool is a shared resource for 4 of our forms. It’s common to enter your information and see a different form than you expected (for example, a DS-11 instead of a DS-82). The Form Filler will create the correct form for you based on the information you enter.
The Form Filler works best if you are applying for or renewing your U.S. passport in the United States or renewing by mail from Canada. If you need to apply for or renew your U.S. passport in another country, visit the webpage of the U.S. embassy or consulate in that country for more information.
1. Application For A U.S. Passport (DS-11)
- You should complete this form if you’re applying for the first time, you’re applying for your child who is under age 16, or you don’t meet our requirements to renew your passport.
2. Renewal Application (DS-82)
- You should complete this form if you meet our requirements to renew your passport. Keep in mind that children under age 16 cannot renew their passports and must apply using Form DS-11.
- We are launching a limited release of an online passport renewal application.
3. Data Corrections, Some Name Changes, and Limited-Validity Passports (DS-5504)
- You may be eligible to use this form if you need to change or correct your passport, or you need to replace a passport that was limited to less than 10 years validity (which is the normal validity period for an adult’s passport.)
What fees should I pay?

I’m an adult (16 and older) and I’m renewing my passport
Adult renewal applicants (16 and older) residing in the U.S. may be eligible to renew their passport. Most applicants age 16-17 must apply in-person using Form DS-11 because their previous passport was issued before they turned age 16.
