Passport Renewal Application – Fillable DS-11 PDF

Renewing your U.S. passport has never been easier. With Formize’s fillable PDF version of the official DS‑11 application, you can complete the entire form online, avoid common errors, and print a clean copy ready for submission.

Why Use a Fillable PDF Form

Traditional paper forms require you to print, write, and re‑write if you make a mistake. A fillable PDF lets you:

• Enter data directly on your computer or tablet.
• Save a draft and return later.
• Validate required fields instantly, reducing the chance of rejection.
• Print a professional‑looking document that meets State Department standards.

Step‑by‑Step Guide to Complete the DS‑11 Form

Follow the simple steps below instead of downloading the PDF and opening a separate editor.

• Click "Fill out this form" on this page.
• Wait a few seconds while the Formize PDF Filler app loads.
• Enter all requested information in each field. The app highlights missing or incorrectly formatted entries.
• Review the completed form, add your signature electronically, and click Save & Download.
• Print the final PDF on white, 8.5" x 11" paper and submit it with your supporting documents.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaving the "Middle Name" field blank when you have one – the State Department requires the full legal name.
• Using a non‑official photo (must be 2" x 2", color, taken within the last six months).
• Forgetting to sign the form in the designated area – an unsigned form is automatically rejected.
• Submitting an outdated form version – always use the latest PDF provided by Formize.

Where to Submit Your Completed Form

After printing, mail your DS‑11 renewal package to the appropriate address listed on the U.S. Department of State website. If you need expedited service, use the designated Express or Agency address.
