If you’re under 16, additional parental documentation is required. Gather your proof of citizenship like birth certificate and valid government-issued photo ID before starting your application.

Download the appropriate form from the US Department of State website. DS-11 is for first-time applicants, while DS-82 works for eligible renewals. Fill out the form completely and accurately. Pro tip: Use black ink and print clearly to avoid processing delays.
