United States First-Time / In-Person Passport Application (Form DS-11)

Application for a U.S. passport book and/or card using Department of State Form DS-11, the form used when an applicant must apply in person — first-time applicants, applicants under 16, and anyone whose most recent passport was lost, stolen, damaged, issued more than 15 years ago, or issued before age 16. This document describes the applicant inputs and required evidence and ends at the acceptance-facility handoff: DS-11 must be signed in person before an acceptance agent and is not mailed in. It does not submit the form; the live travel.state.gov source and the current Form DS-11 PDF are always authoritative (see verification).

Confirm you must apply in person

  • inPersonReason enum required

    DS-11 is used only when you must apply in person. first_passport = you have never been issued a U.S. passport; under_16 = the applicant is a child under 16; prior_lost_stolen_damaged = your most recent passport was lost, stolen, or damaged; prior_over_15_years = your most recent passport was issued more than 15 years ago; prior_issued_under_16 = your most recent passport was issued before you turned 16. If none apply you may be eligible to renew by mail with Form DS-82 instead (see us/dos/passport-renewal-ds82).

  • citizenshipEvidence file required

    An original or certified copy of your citizenship evidence. At an acceptance facility the original is presented and a photocopy is submitted; provide as PDF, JPEG, or PNG when preparing the application. Digital or electronic evidence (e.g. a mobile birth certificate) is not accepted — physical evidence only.

  • photoIdType enum required

    DS-11 cannot be mailed in. You must take the completed (unsigned) form and all evidence to an acceptance facility — many post offices, libraries, and clerks of court — and sign it in person before an acceptance agent, who administers the oath. Set true to acknowledge this handoff. This document ends here; the agent never submits on the applicant's behalf.

Verification record

This file is the source-review record for this document version, per the manual-source-review-v1 practice. v1.0.0's own VERIFICATION.md stays as the authoring provenance for that version and is not edited (VERSIONING.md §3 immutability); v1.1.0 shipped without its own record. This is a fresh record for v2.0.0.

Current claim

  • status: verified (advanced from draft — this version performs the full field-by-field review the practice requires)
  • verification.method: manual-source-review-v1
  • verification.lastVerifiedAt: 2026-07-02

This closes out GOV-669 (Plan §2 F0.b, split from the GOV-664 Department of State forms plan).

First finding: the recorded source.url is dead

v1.1.0's source.url, https://travel.state.gov/en/passports/how-apply.html, now returns HTTP 404. travel.state.gov restructured its passport-application section into apply.html plus dedicated sub-pages (apply/adults.html, apply/child/under-16.html, apply/help/*). source.url is corrected to https://travel.state.gov/en/passports/apply/adults.html, the current page for the adult in-person flow this document primarily models.

Independent review pass

Per the practice's Procedure steps 2–3, this pass re-fetched every source fresh rather than trusting v1.0.0/v1.1.0's authoring record:

  • Live guidance pages (retrieved 2026-07-02): apply.html, apply/adults.html, apply/child/under-16.html, apply/help/citizenship-evidence.html, apply/help/photo-id.html, apply/help/photos.html, apply/help/forms.html, apply/help/fees.html.
  • The live fillable Form DS-11 PDF (eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds11_pdf.pdf, "DS-11 04-2025" per its own footer, OMB expiration 06/30/2028) — extracted two independent ways, same methodology as the sibling DS-82 v2.0.0 review:
    • Page text, via pdfjs-dist's getTextContent() (6 pages: 4 instruction pages + 2 application pages), giving the exact printed wording of Section A (eligibility), Section C (numbered field instructions 1–8), Section D (attachments: citizenship, identity, photo, and — new to this review — parental relationship/awareness), and the Application Page 1–2 field captions.
    • AcroForm field structure, via pdf-lib's form-field API (84 named widgets) plus a raw widget-appearance-state pass (/AP /N dictionary keys) to recover the exact export values of every checkbox/radio group (e.g. Gender :: /M, /F, Selection :: /Book, /Card, /Both, Parent 1 US Citizen :: /Yes, /No) — cross-checked against the page text.

Why this is a MAJOR version, not MINOR or PATCH

Two independent classes of change are bundled in this release:

  1. Field-removing / validation-tightening corrections (see below) — per VERSIONING.md §1, removing a field or narrowing an enum so previously valid input becomes invalid is MAJOR: an agent built against v1.1.0 that sent sexMarker: "X", photoIdType: "state_id", or separate heightFeet/heightInches would have that input rejected or dropped by v2.0.0.
  2. Many new, entirely optional (or newly-required-but-additive) fields — on their own this would be MINOR/MAJOR depending on requiredness, but is dominated by (1) regardless.

The higher of the two — MAJOR — governs the release as a whole: 1.1.0 → 2.0.0.

Discrepancies found and corrected

  1. sexMarker narrowed from ["F", "M", "X"] to ["F", "M"]. The live Gender radio widget on Form DS-11 (04-2025) offers only /M and /F; the form's own instructions state you must select "M" or "F" corresponding to biological sex at birth. No X option exists on the current form (same finding as the sibling DS-82 v2.0.0 review).
  2. photoIdType enum corrected: state_id removed, seven new values added. state_id (a generic non-driver state ID) does not appear on either the form's own Section D.2 list or the "Photo ID Requirements" page — a plain state ID without a driver's license is actually a secondary ID requiring a second document, not primary. Removing it is a real narrowing (a discrepancy correction, not a new restriction). Added: certificate_of_naturalization, certificate_of_citizenship, foreign_passport, matricula_consular, permanent_resident_card, trusted_traveler_id, tribal_photo_id — all confirmed primary-ID categories on the live "Photo ID Requirements" page and/or Section D.2.
  3. heightFeet + heightInches replaced by a single height string field. The AcroForm has exactly one Height text widget, not separate feet/inches boxes — the same single-field convention already used by sibling schema us/dos/passport-renewal-ds82. The two-integer split was never grounded in the source.
  4. email/phone sourceRefs corrected. v1.1.0 cited "item 6 — Email" and "item 7 — Phone Number". The current form's Section C numbers the items 1 Name, 2 DOB, 3 Sex, 4 Place of Birth, 5 SSN, 6 USCIS Registration A-Number, 7 Email Address, 8 Mailing Address; the phone number caption ("Primary Contact Phone Number") is not itself a numbered instruction item. Corrected to item 6 = A-Number (newly modeled, see below), item 7 = Email, and phone cited without a fabricated item number.
  5. socialSecurityNumber description corrected to state the no-SSN pathway precisely. The form requires entering all zeros (000000000, which still satisfies the existing ^[0-9]{9}$ pattern — no validation change) plus a specific signed perjury statement if the applicant has never been issued an SSN. v1.1.0's description gestured at "an alternative attestation" without the mechanism; the new field noSsnAttestationStatement (see below) models the attestation itself.

New fields added

Discovered by cross-referencing the AcroForm's 84 named widgets and Section D against v1.1.0's 32 fields:

  • uscisANumber — Section C item 6, USCIS Registration A-Number.
  • noSsnAttestationStatement — the signed perjury statement required when socialSecurityNumber is all zeros.
  • mailingAddressCountry — the form has a country line (Applicant Address Country); v1.1.0 implicitly assumed U.S.-only.
  • Permanent address (permanentAddressLine1/Line2/City/State/PostalCode) — a block distinct from mailing address, confirmed via five dedicated Permanent Address * widgets. Unlike sibling DS-82, this form's permanent address block has no country line.
  • everAppliedForOrIssuedPassport — the form's own Yes/No gate (Ever Applied or Issued) for whether the prior-passport-details block applies; more precise than inferring this from inPersonReason.
  • Prior passport details (priorPassportNameOnBook, priorPassportNameOnCard, priorPassportBookStatus, priorPassportCardStatus, priorPassportLossOrTheftDetails) — Application Page 2's book/card status radio groups (confirmed export values: Submitting/Stolen/Lost/Possession, separately for book and card) and free-text circumstances field.
  • Parent detail fields (parent1DateOfBirth, parent1PlaceOfBirth, parent1Gender, parent1UsCitizen, and the parent2* equivalents) — the form's Parent 1/2 blocks ask DOB, place of birth, sex marker, and a Yes/No U.S.-citizenship question; v1.1.0 only had a free-text name and a citizenship-country string. Both are kept: parent1Citizenship remains as supplementary detail, parent1UsCitizen models the form's actual Yes/No field.
  • Parental consent for under-16 applicants (parentsOrGuardiansPresentInPerson, parentalConsentPathway, parentalConsentDocument) and parental awareness for 16-17 applicants (parentalAwarenessAcknowledgement) — Section D.4 ("Proof of Parental Relationship" / "Proof of Parental Awareness") was entirely unmodeled in v1.1.0 beyond a vague description note. This is real, consequential process detail: an agent unaware that one absent parent requires a notarized Form DS-3053 (or death certificate, sole-custody evidence, Form DS-5525, or guardian/institution documents) would produce an incomplete child application. Gated with visibleWhen/requiredWhen on inPersonReason == "under_16" (GSP-0013); the 16-17 awareness field is documented textually since no field in this document lets a condition compute "age 16 or 17" from dateOfBirth.
  • Marital status (everMarried, spouseFullName, spouseDateOfBirth, spousePlaceOfBirth, spouseUsCitizen, dateOfMarriage, divorcedOrWidowed, divorceOrWidowDate) — a full Application Page 2 section (Ever Married, spouse name/DOB/place of birth, Spouse US Citizen, Date of Marriage, Divorced, Widow/Divorce Date) was entirely unmodeled. New marital_status step inserted between parents and emergency_and_travel; no existing step is removed or renamed.
  • Emergency contact address (emergencyContactAddressLine1/Line2/City/ State/PostalCode) — v1.1.0 had only name/phone/relationship; the form also collects a full address for the emergency contact.
  • travelReturnDate — pairs with the already-modeled travelDepartureDate; the form has a separate Travel Return Date widget.
  • bookSize (regular/large) — the form's Regular or Large Book checkbox pair, applicable only when requesting a passport book.

Intentionally not modeled

  • Fees, processing times, and mailing addresses for submission (Sections D.5/E/F) remain deliberately excluded as data, per v1.0.0's original scope decision (fee/policy volatility), unchanged.
  • Secondary citizenship/identity evidence pathways (delayed birth certificates, Letters of No Record, early-life records, the two-ID secondary-photo-ID path, file-search requests) are out of scope for the structured citizenshipEvidenceType/photoIdType enums, which model the primary evidence categories only; the live source is authoritative for applicants who cannot use a primary category.
  • Additional # checkbox group (export values Home/Work/Cell/ Other), which appears to tag each of the three Applicant Phone boxes by type. Not modeled — the existing single phone field is retained as-is, consistent with v1.0.0's original single-phone-field scope.
  • The " 2"-suffixed widgets (Name of Applicant 2, Applicant DOB 2). Consistent with the same finding on sibling DS-82, these read as a Page 2 identity-header repeat of already-captured applicant fields, not a distinct data element.
  • Out-of-country DS-3053 notarization list. The live source publishes a list of countries where Form DS-3053 must be notarized at a U.S. embassy or consulate rather than a local notary; this list changes independently of the form and is referenced from parentalConsentDocument's description rather than encoded, consistent with the fee/policy-volatility principle above.

Per the practice's Cadence, nextReviewBy is 2027-01-02 (6 months): this cycle found a real, mid-cycle form-revision drift (a dead source.url, plus multiple structural corrections) since v1.0.0/v1.1.0 were authored, matching the sibling DS-82 finding. Re-check the source on or before that date, and immediately on any new Form DS-11 revision notice or source.url change.
