U.S. Passports

First-Time Passport Applications

Please present the following items:  

• Original evidence of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, U.S. Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship, or Consular Report of Birth Abroad.
• Original evidence of identity such as a Bolivian carnet or passport.  Parents applying on behalf of their minor children may use their own passport or other government-issued identification with the bearer’s name, photo, and signature.
• Two identical and recent photographs measuring 5cm by 5cm taken full face with a light background. Photo booth machine photographs are not acceptable. Ask the photographer for photos for a U.S. passport to avoid needing to redo the photos.
