You want to make sure the first time you apply, it will result in you having your travel document. Before you start filling in any data, read the instructions provided on the form. There is a toll-free phone number to call if you have any questions. The number is , and a representative is available Monday-Friday from am to pm Eastern Time, excluding federal holidays.
Most locations that accept an application will also provide information about the process. You can stop by and asked to avoid a delay or denial. To some, this may be a simple reason to get a delay or rejection. The form clearly states that you must use a blank ink pen when providing your data. Also, the information must be legible; otherwise, the application gets rejected.
This standard error is mostly made if the instructions were not red. It is imperative to follow these simple yet essential rules. One important document to provide is a photo. A photo used for a passport has specific requirements. You should follow them to avoid a delay. The common mistake some people make is to take the picture themselves. If the picture does not have a white or off-white background, is not 2 x 2 in size, in color, or has shadows, it is not good to use.
The best advice is to go to your drugstore or a professional photographer to have your picture taken. Signatures need to be the same on all documents. If your signatures do not match, then you will have processing issues. Do your best to use the same signature on ALL forms and documents. Government Fees must be paid correctly.
Our checklists explain this in detail as well. Please be sure to pay the government fees in the form of a check for the correct amount. Paying too much or too little will delay your application. Passport Book: If your passport book is damaged, you cannot renew it.
You will need to follow the replacement passport checklist. This is important as it WILL delay your application. Identification Documents must be provided when applying for a passport, especially if that application requires a visit to a passport acceptance agent. Birth Certificate: When applying for a replacement passport, a new adult passport, or any child minor passport, you must provide the Long Form Birth Certificate.
This is the birth certificate with the parents full names listed. It also must be an original or certified copy of the birth certificate. Probation or Felony issues may also cause a passport application to be denied. Other reasons for denial include if the applicant has been the subject of a restraining order issued by an officer of the Armed Forces, if she is subject to an outstanding state or local warrant of arrest for a felony, or if a foreign country has submitted a request for extradition or provisional arrest of the applicant.
The Department of Homeland Security states that if a passport applicant is identified as a minor who has been abducted, wrongfully removed or retained in violation of a court order, the applicant might be denied a passport. This is because the minor might have to return to his home state or habitual residence to allow a court to determine custody matters.
In these cases, the department might still issue a passport for direct return to the United States. Additionally, minors under the age of 16 must follow specific guidelines in order to obtain a passport. They must make a personal appearance and, in most cases, be accompanied by both parents or each legal guardian.
If an applicant doesn't follow these guidelines, his application would be denied. Minors ages 16 and older can apply for a passport on their own behalf, but they still must appear in person to execute the application. Failing to do so would result in an application denial. If an applicant has been previously denied a passport or had her passport revoked, this could also factor into an application denial.
Unless the applicant can demonstrate a change in circumstances, the government might continue to refuse to issue her a passport.
