What to check before you file

Filling Form DS-11 for many people

Bulk fill in your FillWise account takes Form DS-11 and a CSV or Excel sheet with one person per row. It fills the first one and stops so you can check the result, then fills the rest and hands back one zip. Each copy costs 1 fill, the same as filling it on its own. How it works step by step: bulk PDF form filling guide.

Cost

Form DS-11 has 6 pages, but its fields are on pages 5-6 only, so filling it costs 1 fill: FillWise charges a PDF fill by the pages it fills, one fill per started 5 pages. The free plan starts with 20 fills and then tops back up to 5 fills a week, no card required. Paid plans are on the pricing page.

Privacy

The PDF is filled in your browser; only its field list and your data go to our server for the AI, and nothing is stored. Details: privacy and security.

Common Questions

My old passport was issued more than 15 years ago. Do I need the DS-11 instead of a renewal form?

Yes. You apply in person on the DS-11 if your previous passport was issued more than 15 years ago, issued when you were under 16, or lost, stolen or damaged, and also for a first passport or if you are under 16. If none apply, you may be eligible for Form DS-82 or DS-5504.

What documents do I bring with a DS-11 to my appointment?

Attach one color photo, 2x2 inches. Bring proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a qualifying U.S. birth certificate or an undamaged U.S. passport, as an original or certified copy plus a photocopy, and your original ID, such as a driver's license, with a front and back photocopy.

How does a child under 16 apply for a passport if only one parent can come?

Parents or guardians must appear in person with the child. If only one can, also submit one of: the second parent's notarized consent or DS-3053, the second parent's death certificate, evidence of sole authority to apply (such as a sole custody order), or a statement or DS-5525 explaining why the second parent cannot be reached.
