0 of 8 steps complete
1
Proof of U.S. Citizenship
Original document required — include ONE of the following
⌄
You must send the original citizenship document — photocopies are not accepted for this item.
-
A certified official U.S. Birth Certificate
Texas and California "Abstract" birth certificates are not acceptable and will be rejected. - An expired U.S. Passport – must be the passport previous to the one you lost, and must be in good condition

2
Photocopy of Valid Photo ID — Front & Back
Color copy required — both sides
⌄
A color photocopy is strongly recommended for best results. A high-quality black & white copy may be accepted, but color is preferred and less likely to cause delays.
- One clear color copy — front and back — of your valid Driver's License, State ID, Military ID, or valid Passport
- If your name has changed from your citizenship document, include the original marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court-issued name change document

Two Passport Photos
Brand new, under 3 months old — Staples, CVS, Walgreens, etc.
⌄
Do not staple the photos to the application. Let the acceptance agent attach them. Stapling causes rejection.
- Two brand-new passport photos, taken within the last 3 months
- No hat or glasses in the photo — will be rejected
✓ Step 3 complete

Government Passport Fee — $213.36
Personal check or money order payable to "U.S. Department of State" + $35 to acceptance agent
⌄
The State Department is very strict about payment. Illegible writing, abbreviations, scratch-outs, starter checks, or post-dated checks will cause a 4-day delay. Read the rules below carefully.
You need two separate payments: $213.36 by check or money order (goes inside the sealed envelope) and $35.00 cash paid directly to the acceptance agent at the time of your visit.
- Check or money order is payable to U.S. Department of State
- Applicant's date of birth is written in the memo line
- If using a money order: your name, address, and date of birth are all written on it
- If using a personal check: your name and address are printed on the check (not handwritten) — starter checks are rejected
- If also applying for a passport card, add $30.00 to the check (total $243.36)
- Made a photocopy of the completed check — this copy goes loose inside your FedEx/UPS shipping envelope
- Have $35.00 ready to pay the acceptance agent in person
✓ Step 7 complete
8
Print Your Order Confirmation Email
Include loose in shipping envelope — do NOT let acceptance agent seal this
⌄
This is the email you received from us when you placed your order. Open it, print the PDF attached to it, and keep it loose — it should not go inside the sealed security envelope.
- Found the order confirmation email from Urgent Passport Services
- Printed the PDF attached to that email (it contains your shipping addresses and order info)
