- You were 16 years or older when your U.S. passport was issued

Step 1 – Gather required documents.
1. State Department Application. The U.S. Passport Agnecy now requires all applications for a U.S. Passport be typed for submission. This provides the ability for a 2D-barcode to be printed on the form, which allows the State Department to scan your information into their database, thus making processing your application faster. Once you have entered your information onto the application through the State Department’s website, click “Create Form”, which will prepare your application for printing. Make sure to sign your application. Please click here to access the DS-82 online application.
2. Expired Passport. Your expired passport will need to be sent to us for submission. Your expired passport will be returned to you along with your new passport.
3. Proof of Departure. Print out a copy of your travel itinerary showing when you will be departing the U.S. for international travel. A copy of your airline ticket is also acceptable.
Step 2 – Order Form, Authorization Form, Shipping and Service.
