Document Editing & Management Service Tailored for Passport Forms

Request a File Search


You may request a File Search instead of submitting evidence of U.S. Citizenship if:

  • You have been issued a U.S. passport or Consular Report of Birth Abroad in the past and
  • You can't submit it with your application

The File Search fee is $150 and charged in addition to the normal application fees, payable to the Department of State. Please fill out Request for a File Search and include it with your application.
