  • DS-11 must be completed online using the government application form.


Government Fee: $211.36, payable to the U.S. Department of State. Once you have all the materials (as listed above) ready, continue to step 2.


Step 2. Get Application Authorized


All 1st Time or New Applicants need to have their applications authorized by local government officials called Acceptance Agents (AA). Bring all of the materials listed above. This section describes what happens there.


AAs are located in Post Offices and Courthouses around the country. Not every Post Office or Courthouse has an AA, and hours vary.


The AA's job is to witness the applicant sign the government form, check their ID, and seal some of the application materials into an envelope.


The items that are sealed are:

  • The first signed copy of DS-11.
  • The original proof of citizenship.
  • The two passport photos.
  • The photocopy of the driver's license, or the supplemental ID.

  • The UPV Services order confirmation page.
  • The check for UPV Services (if not paid by credit card during checkout).


Important Note: The Acceptance Agent will occasionally insist on sealing one or more of the items listed here as items that should not be sealed. This is perfectly fine. Just make sure to include the required number of them inside the package that you are sending in. As an example... if the AA seals one copy of our Letter of Authorization (or even the travel evidence), simply print out another so that you can include 2 loosely in the package that you send to us (see Step-3).


The AA should write the applicant's name, departure date, and date of birth on the outside of the sealed envelope. If two applications are sealed in the same envelope (normal), ensure that both applicant's information appears.

It is occasionally necessary to refer the AA to the Department of State's Hand Carrying of Executed Applications policy, located on page 31 or 44 of their manual. If the agent refuses to return the envelope, call UPV Services to have a representative assist you.
