ENTITLEMENT FOR A U.S. PASSPORT
USE OF SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONNAIRE TO ESTABLISH ENTITLEMENT FOR A U.S. PASSPORT
This form is intended to supplement an application for a U.S. passport in the event insufficient evidence of entitlement is provided. In addition
to completing this form, you may be asked to provide further documentary evidence to support your claim. Documentary evidence should
contain your full name, date and/or place of birth, and the seal or other certification of the issuing office (if customary) and the signature of the
issuing official. For more information on proof of U.S. citizenship, please refer to page two of the instructions for the DS-11, Application for a
U.S. Passport, or visit travel.state.gov.

FORM INSTRUCTIONS
1. To assist us in establishing your entitlement for a U.S. passport, please fill out this supplemental questionnaire and return it to the
requesting passport office. If you have been asked for additional information and/or documentation, please submit the
information and/or documentation requested with this supplemental questionnaire.
2. If you are unable to provide primary evidence of U.S. citizenship, such as a previously issued U.S. passport or a certified birth
certificate, please submit secondary evidence. For lists of primary and secondary evidence of U.S. citizenship, go to
http://travel.state.gov/passport and click on the link to information for first time applicants.
3. Please complete the questions on this form to the best of your knowledge. Generally, the more information you are able to provide,
the faster we may be able to process your U.S. passport application.
4. If you are unsure of the answer to a question, please provide a response to the best of your knowledge . For example, if you are
unsure of an exact address, please provide the city, state, and street name if you can recall them. Passport Services will consider all the
information derived from the form in its entirety.
5. Failure to answer every question will not necessarily preclude passport issuance as the form is considered in its entirety.
6. If you have no knowledge of the answer to a question, please write "I don't know." If you believe a particular question does not
apply to you or your circumstances, please write "Not Applicable" or "N/A." The Department realizes that most information for this
questionnaire may be difficult to obtain and will likely come from other sources. The Department will take these factors into account in the
passport issuance process.
7. If you need more space to respond to a question, please write the rest of your response on a separate sheet of paper.
