DS-11 U.S. Passport Application – Fillable PDF

The DS-11 is the official application for first‑time U.S. passports, passports for minors, and replacement of lost or damaged passports. Using Formize’s built‑in PDF filler, you can complete the form online, avoid manual errors, and print a clean, one‑sided copy ready for submission.

What Is the DS-11 Form?

DS-11 is issued by the U.S. Department of State. It collects personal information, citizenship proof, and travel details. You must present the unsigned, completed form at a passport acceptance facility along with supporting documents.

How to Complete the DS-11 with Formize

Follow these simple steps to fill the form directly in your browser—no PDF editor required.

  • Click “Fill out this form” on the page.
  • Wait a few seconds while the Formize PDF Filler loads the official DS-11.
  • Enter your information in each field using the on‑screen keyboard.
  • Use the navigation arrows to move between pages.
  • When finished, click Print to produce a one‑sided copy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Using colored ink – print in black ink only.
  • Leaving any required box empty – the filler will highlight missing fields.
  • Signing the form before you reach the acceptance facility – sign only on the printed copy.
  • Altering a printed form by hand – any corrections require a new form.

Where to Submit Your Completed Form

Take the printed, unsigned DS-11, your proof of citizenship, a government‑issued photo ID, and a passport‑size photo to any passport acceptance facility (post offices, libraries, or designated clerks). If you need expedited service, schedule an appointment at a regional passport agency.

ABOUT

Passport Forms

DS-11 is one of Passport forms that are documents used to apply for a passport, which is a travel document that certifies the identity and nationality of the holder and allows them to travel internationally. Passport forms can vary depending on the country issuing the passport, but they generally contain personal information about the applicant, such as name, date of birth, and place of birth, as well as information about the applicant's parents and any previous passports or travel documents.

In the United States, the two most common passport forms are the DS-11 and DS-82. The DS-11 form is used for first-time applicants, minors, or individuals who are not eligible to use the DS-82 form. The DS-82 form is used for passport renewals by mail for eligible applicants. Both forms require the applicant to provide personal information and supporting documentation, such as a passport photo and proof of citizenship.

Other countries may have different passport forms and requirements, but the basic process typically involves completing a passport application, providing supporting documentation, and attending an interview with a passport official at a government facility or embassy. It is important to note that the passport application process can take several weeks or even months, so it is recommended to apply well in advance of any planned travel.
