Applications and Forms
If you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader
and can print as specified, click on the
left to select what forms to print.
Print Passport Application Forms
It is now possible to print passport
application forms in Portable Document Format
(PDF). Adobe PDF files require Acrobat Reader
software from Adobe Systems Inc.
The forms you print must be clear and sharp.
Applications that are blurred or illegible
will not be accepted. They must be printed
in black print on white paper. The paper
must be 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, with
no holes or perforations, at least medium
(20 lb.) weight, and with a matte surface.
Thermal paper, dye-sublimation paper, special
inkjet paper, and other shiny papers are
not acceptable.
Some printers will reduce the photograph
area on the passport application to less
than 2x2 inches. Please make sure that the
photograph area on the printed application
form is 2x2 inches to ensure that the photographs
you submit (also 2x2 inches in size) can
be correctly attached.
Please type or print legibly when completing
all sections of the application.
PLEASE PRINT OUT AND SUBMIT ONLY ONE -SIDED
PAGES OF THE APPLICATION.
Digitized Passports Photos
If you choose to submit digitized photos,
they must meet the same requirements of
all passport photographs. In addition, digitized
photographs are always produced on digital
printers. Some printers will produce a photograph
in which the dots are seen.
Visible dots distort the image by making
it look grainy. Acceptable photos have a
continuous tone image that looks very photo-like.
