What Is the DS-11 Form?

The DS-11 is the Application for a U.S. Passport. It is required for first‑time applicants, minors, and anyone whose previous passport was lost, stolen, or expired more than five years ago. The form is issued by the U.S. Department of State and must be signed in the presence of an authorized passport acceptance agent.

How to Fill Out the DS-11 Online with Formize

Our Fill out this form button launches the Formize PDF Filler app. The filler automatically loads the official DS-11 PDF, lets you type directly into each field, and validates common entry errors.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using colored ink or handwriting on a printed copy.
• Leaving required fields blank (e.g., middle name, date of birth).
• Signing the form before you meet the acceptance agent.
• Uploading a scanned image instead of the fillable version.

Where to Submit Your Completed Form

After you finish the online fill, download the PDF and bring it to a passport acceptance facility (post office, library, or county clerk). Bring supporting documents such as proof of U.S. citizenship, photo ID, and a passport‑size photo.
