the form you have filled out, print 2 copies of it and sign one copy
before the clerk who executes the application form and follow all the
instructions below in the section "The
application for a new passport must be executed". If for any
reason you cannot fill out the form online, click
here to print out the form and fill it out by hand. In
this case you must fax a copy of this DS-11 form as soon as possible
after you have had the application executed so that we may generate
a form for you and include this copy of DS-11 in the materials you send
to Capitol Visa (the charge for this service will be $15 additional
and processing will be delayed).

of $120.00 is paid directly to the US State Department and does not

letter of consent signed by the non-applying parent or
guardian for children under age 14
