The following items must be presented to an authorized passport clerk who will in turn adjudicate the application and place documentation inside an envelope which will be sealed and cannot be opened except by another passport clerk -otherwise rendering all documents void. Check with your local Post Office or county building to see if there is a clerk at that location.

What needs to be inside your sealed envelope from the post office or county building:

• 1 original (no photocopies or faxes)completed DS-11 Application form completed online, printed and signed
• Certified or original copy of the applicants birth certificate or naturalization certificate
• 2 Passport Quality Photographs

• Check to US. Department of State to pay for your expedited passport (see below for fees)
• Flight Itinerary (If passport is needed in less than 2 weeks)

What should be outside your sealed envelope:

Expert Visa Cover Sheet

We do not see the documents inside your sealed envelope so the cover sheet must be included outside the sealed envelope. Please write on the envelope or cover sheet your full name, Date of Birth, Departure Date and Contact Phone Number.

NOTE: All instructions on the passport application and attached pages must be read. If the U.S. Passport agency feels they have not been read they will not issue a passport.

Applicant will need to show a valid Photo I. D. when making application (such as driver's license) and take an oath.
Special requirements for minors, please contact Expert Visa Services, Inc.
Please note that most first time passport applications do not need to be expedited and the passport clerks are instructed to forward the documentation themselves to the appropriate passport facility.
