Please note that a hospital-issued birth certificate alone is not acceptable.
– Bring in proof of identity. This must be one of the following: a previous U.S. passport; a naturalization certificate; a certificate of citizenship; or a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID.
– The passport application requires two identical color photographs of the applicant, which are available at the post office for $15.
