| Government Passport Application Forms
Government forms may be downloaded in the PDF format only. You will need the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader software to view and print the forms. Click here for information on how to download Adobe Acrobat Reader. You may also acquire passport forms at your local Acceptance Agency.
The forms you print must be clear and sharp. Passport applications that are blurred or illegible will not be accepted. They must be printed in black print on white paper. The paper must be 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, with no holes or perforations, at least medium (20 lb.) weight, and with a matte surface. Thermal paper, dye-sublimation paper, special inkjet paper, and other shiny papers are not acceptable.
Downloaded forms with any fields blackened out may be rejected by the passport agency. Acquiring the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader should resolve the problem.
