Required Documents

Please review the required documents below to verify you have everything you need when you arrive to your appointment. Important: Bring a check or money order for the U.S. Department of State fee. Please call our office at 512-854-4295 if you have any questions and an Acceptance Agent will be happy to assist you!

1. Fill Out Form DS-11

The U.S. Department of State has an fillable DS-11 form (PDF) you can print to create your passport application.

If you don’t want to print the online form, you can obtain an application from the Travis County District Clerk when you come in to apply for the passport. NOTE: Do not sign your passport application until you are instructed to do so when submitting it. You will be signing the application under oath, and the district clerk will be giving you that oath.
