        • You can obtain a certified birth certificate from the Office of Vital Statistics in your state of birth or through an order.

    Primary evidence of U.S. citizenship includes an original certified birth certificate issued by a U.S. city, county, or state. Alternatively, an original or certified “long form” birth certificate from the Office of Vital Statistics, showing both parents’ full names, with a raised seal is acceptable. Certified birth certificates lacking both parents’; full names will not be considered as evidence of U.S. citizenship.

        • Hospital-issued birth certificates are NOT valid for applying for a U.S. Passport. Additionally, certified copies of birth certificates must meet specific requirements to be considered acceptable primary evidence of U.S. citizenship.

    Renewing a Second Passport:
    When renewing a second valid passport, include your most recently issued primary (10-year) passport and the expired or expiring second valid passport, if applicable. Whether applying for a new second passport or renewing an expired one, you must also submit your regular 10-year passport.

    Passport Card:
    When renewing your U.S. passport, mark the box for “Passport Book” if you’re applying for a regular passport book only.

    If you also want a Passport Card, mark the box for “Passport Card” and note there’s an additional $30.00 Passport Agency fee. Passport Cards cannot be expedited currently and take around 2-3 weeks to be issued. They’ll be processed separately from your regular passport book and mailed to you directly via First Class mail from the U.S. Passport Agency.

    The Passport Card is an additional, wallet-sized form of official government ID. It allows for convenient travel by land or sea to Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, and the Caribbean. Passport for Minors (16 years and younger), see First Time Child / Minor Passport Process.
