When applying for a passport, it is important to bring the necessary documents and identification to the passport acceptance facility. The specific requirements may vary depending on the applicants age and circumstances. Here is a list of items to bring for a passport application:

• Proof of U.S. Citizenship: This can be an original U.S. birth certificate, a certificate of naturalization, a certificate of citizenship, or a consular report of birth abroad.
• Photocopy of U.S. Citizenship Evidence: If you dont want to submit a photocopy of your citizenship evidence, you may submit a second certified copy of your citizenship evidence, which the acceptance agent will keep.
• Government-issued photo identification document (ID): The ID must readily identify you. Acceptable IDs include a drivers license, a state-issued ID card, a military ID, or a U.S. passport.
• Photocopy of the front and back of each ID that you present when you apply.
• Passport application fee: The fee varies depending on the type of passport and services requested.
• Execution (acceptance) fee: This is a separate fee that must be paid to the acceptance facility.
• Passport photo: The photo must meet specific requirements, such as a plain white or off-white background and no filters commonly used on social media.
• Parental relationship documentation: If applying for a childs passport, you must submit documentation that lists the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the child applying for a passport.

It is recommended to check the State Department website for the latest information on passport requirements and fees. Additionally, some acceptance facilities may require appointments, so it is best to call ahead to verify their hours and acceptable forms of payment.
