You’ll also need to have two passport photos taken. Once you have all the required documents, you can submit your application and pay the fee.

There are two ways to get a passport: through the mail or in person.
To apply for a passport by mail, you will need to fill out an application and submit it, along with your proof of citizenship and identity, to the address on the form. You will also need to include two passport photos and pay the application fee. The processing time for mailed applications is 6-8 weeks.

Renewing or Replacing Your Passport
If your passport has been lost, stolen, or damaged, you will need to apply for a new one. You can also renew your passport if it is about to expire. To do either of these things, you will need to fill out a form and submit it to the US Department of State.
You will also need to provide proof of citizenship. This can be done with a birth certificate or naturalization certificate. If you have a previous passport, you may also use that as proof of citizenship. If you do not have any of these documents, you will need to get them before you can apply for a new passport.
You will need to provide a photo with your application. This photo must be 2 inches by 2 inches and must be taken within 6 months of your application date. You cannot wear a hat or sunglasses in the photo.
Once you have all of the necessary documents and information, you can submit your application online, by mail, or in person at a passport office.
What to Do If Your Passport is Lost or Stolen
If you lose your passport or it is stolen, you must report the loss or theft to the U.S. Department of State immediately. You can report the loss or theft online, by mail, or in person at a passport agency or center.

-Proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate)
-A photocopy of the identification page of your lost or stolen passport (if available)
-Two photographs that meet passport photo requirements
