| 2. TWO PHOTOGRAPHS -- The photos must be recent (taken within the past six months), identical, 2x2 inches, and either color or black/white; -- they must show a front view, full face, on a plain, light (white or off-white) background. (Vending machine photographs are not acceptable.) 3. PROOF OF IDENTITY That is... -- a previous U.S. passport, a Certificate of Naturalization or Citizenship, a valid driver's license, government or military ID, or corporate ID. 4. FEES -- $65 for a ten-year passport; -- $40 for a five-year passport for persons under 18 (these amounts include a $10 execution fee). Make your check or money order payable to Passport Services. Post offices (and passport agencies) accept cash in the exact amount of the fee, but courts are not required to do so. If you must have your passport within 2 weeks, you will need to pay an additional $30 expedite fee and provide proof of the need for this service. (See "What If I Need a Passport in a Hurry?.") 5. SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER Although a Social Security number is not required for issuance of a passport, Section 6039E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 requires passport applicants provide this information. Passport Services gives this information to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) routinely. Any applicant who fails to provide the information is subject to a $500 penalty enforced by the IRS. Questions on this matter should be referred to the nearest IRS office. Where Can I Get Passport Forms? Passport forms are available from passport agencies, many post offices, clerks of court and travel agencies. They can also be down loaded via the Internet at http://travel.state.gov. May I Apply for a Passport by Mail? Yes, if you already have a passport and that passport is your most recent one, and it was issued within the past 12 years, and if you were over age 18 when it was issued. Obtain DSP-82 "Application For Passport By Mail." Fill it out, sign, and date it. Attach to it: -- your most recent passport; -- two identical passport photographs (See previous section on passport photographs.); -- and a $55 fee (and if applicable, a $30 expedite fee for emergency service); make your check or money order payable to Passport Services. (The $10 execution fee is waived for those eligible to apply by mail.) If your name changed, enclose a certified copy of the Court Order, Adoption Decree, Marriage Certificate, or Divorce Decree specifying another name for you to use. (Photocopies will not be accepted.) If your name has changed by any other means, you must apply in person. Mail (if possible, in a padded envelope) the completed DSP-82 application and attachments to: National Passport Center P.O. Box 371971 Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7971. Your previous passport will be returned to you with your new passport. If you need faster service, you can use an overnight delivery service. If the service of your choice will not deliver to a post office box, send it to: Mellon Bank Attn: Passport Supervisor 371971 3 Mellon Bank Center, Rm. 153-2723 Pittsburgh, PA 15259-0001. Include the appropriate fee for overnight return of your passport. Note: If your passport has been mutilated, altered or damaged, you cannot apply by mail. You must apply in person using Form DSP-11, present acceptable evidence of U.S. citizenship and identification. |
