document was issued at age 16 or older in your current name (or see item #2 below) and issued within the past 15 years. You are also eligible to use this form if

book and/or card) for the first time. However, you must submit the product you currently have (U.S. passport book and/or card) with this application. If your U.S.

passport book and/or card has been lost, stolen, damaged, or mutilated, you must apply on the DS-11 application form as specified below.

court order showing the change of name. All documents will be returned to you by mail. If you are unable to document your name change in this manner, you

must apply on the DS-11 application form by making a personal appearance at (1) a passport agency; (2) U.S. embassy or consulate, if abroad; (3) any federal

or state court of record or any probate court accepting passport applications; (4) a designated municipal or county official; or (5) a post office, which has been

image size measured from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head (including hair) should not be less than 1 inch, and not more than 1 3/8 inches. The

photograph must be in color, clear, with a full front view of your face, and printed on thin paper with plain white or off-white background. The photograph must be

taken in normal street attire, without a hat, or head covering unless a signed statement is submitted by the applicant verifying that the hat or head covering is part

of recognized, traditional religious attire that is customarily or required to be worn continuously when in public or a signed doctor's statement is submitted

verifying the item is used daily for medical purposes. Headphones, "bluetooth", or similar devices must not be worn in the passport photographs. Glasses or

other eyewear are not acceptable unless you provide a signed doctor's statement explaining why you cannot remove them due to medical reasons (e.g. during

the recovery period from eye surgery). Any photographs retouched so that your appearance is changed are unacceptable. Snapshots, most vending machine

prints, hand-held self portraits and magazine or full-length photographs are unacceptable. Digitized photos must meet the previously stated qualifications, and

will be accepted for use at the discretion of Passport Services. Please visit our website at travel.state.gov for details and information.

USE CAUTION WHEN STAPLING YOUR PHOTO: Use 4 staples vertically in the corners as close to the outer edge as possible. Do not bend photo.
