What is Form DS-11?

Form DS-11 is the U.S. Department of State application used to apply for a U.S. passport book and/or card in person at an acceptance facility, passport agency, or U.S. embassy or consulate. You must use DS-11 (rather than the DS-82 renewal form) if you are applying for the first time, you are under age 16, your most recent passport was issued when you were under 16 or more than 15 years ago, or your prior passport was lost, stolen, or damaged. The form collects your name, date of birth, sex, place of birth, Social Security number, contact details, mailing address, prior names used, parental information, emergency contact, and travel plans, and ends with an oath and signature block. Critically, you do not sign DS-11 in advance; you sign it in front of the acceptance agent who administers the oath. JustFill opens the official DS-11 in your browser, uses AI to detect every field, and lets you type or dictate your answers onto the PDF, even a scanned copy, with no Adobe Acrobat needed.

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of Form DS-11 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Document type and eligibility

Select whether you want a passport book, card, or both, and confirm you meet a Section A condition requiring in-person application.

Item 1 — Name

Your full legal name (last, first, middle) exactly as it should appear on the passport, consistent with your citizenship evidence.

Items 2-4 — DOB, sex, place of birth

Date of birth in MM/DD/YYYY format, sex marker, and the city and state or country where you were born.

Item 5 — Social Security number

Your SSN if one has been issued to you; rules require zeros and a signed statement if you have never been issued one.

Items 6-7 — A-Number and email

Your nine-digit USCIS A-Number if applicable, and an email address for status updates (optional to provide).

Items 8-9 — Address, phone, and other names

Mailing address (with In Care Of if needed), primary contact phone number, and all other names you have used.

Parental and emergency contact information

Mother's and father's or parent's information and an emergency contact, completed on the application's second page.

Oath and signature block

You take an oath and sign the form, but only when the acceptance agent tells you to during your in-person appointment.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Signing the form ahead of time — you must not sign DS-11 until the authorized acceptance agent administers the oath and asks you to sign.
  • 2Correcting an error with white-out or cross-outs; if you make a mistake you must start a fresh form, as alterations are not accepted.
  • 3Choosing DS-11 when you actually qualify for the mail-in DS-82 renewal, or vice versa, which delays processing or causes rejection.
