What documents do I need to start my passport or visa application?

Typically you'll need proof of US citizenship (birth certificate or prior passport), a valid photo ID, a compliant passport photo, and your travel itinerary. Visas may require additional forms. We provide a personalized checklist once we know your service.

Can you help me change the name on my passport?

Yes. If you've recently married, divorced, or legally changed your name, we handle name-change passport applications and tell you exactly which supporting documents (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order) you'll need.

Which document proves your name change?

Depending on your situation you'll need a certified marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the legal name change. We confirm exactly which document the passport agency will accept for your case.

Corrections and recent issues

If your passport has a printing error or was issued less than a year ago, you may be eligible for a corrected passport. We handle the paperwork and expedite the turnaround.

Apply for a new passport if:

You need to correct a printing error on your current, valid U.S. passport, or
You legally changed your name within one year of your most recent passport being issued, or
Your most recent U.S. passport was issued less than one year ago and needs to be replaced, corrected, or updated.
