GUIDE | BARCODED PASSPORT APPLICATIONS

HOW TO CREATE BARCODED PASSPORT APPLICATIONS Last updated MAR-12-2024

U.S. Embassy Warsaw, Consulate General Krakow, and Consular Agency Poznan require applicants to submit
barcoded passport applications (DS-11 and DS-82 forms) created using the online passport application form
filler. Using barcoded passport forms will speed up the processing of your passport application and reduce
the time you spend in the Embassy or Consulate. This visual guide aims to assist you in the process.

1 Navigate to the website “U.S. Passport Applications and Forms.”


LINK: http://pptform.state.gov/ (<--click this link to open page)
2 Read and acknowledge the “Privacy and Computer Fraud and Abuse Acts Notices and
Disclaimers.” Click the blue link to open in a new page. Once you have read the notice and
disclaimer, click on the BOX and click SUBMIT.

3 Navigate to the left column “Fill Out Online and Print” on the webpage to “Fill out your
application online.” Click SUBMIT to open the FORM FILLER to enter personal information
that will be used to generate a new application (DS-11) or a renewal application (DS-82).
4 Read the Privacy Act Statement and Instructions and enter personal information “About
the Applicant.” You must complete information to progress to the NEXT pages.

Please note:
• The form filler tool is not an online passport application.
• The form filler allows you to electronically enter your data and print a paper form
with a barcode unique to the data entered.
• Once you electronically complete your answers and print the form, you will then
submit the form by mail, or in person, depending on the form type. (DS-82 and DS-
5504 forms by mail; DS-11 form in person).
• Since the data you enter is directly captured in your application’s unique barcode,
please do not make any handwritten changes, corrections or additions to the data,
or to the form after it is printed, as it may cause data errors and processing delays.
5 Review your submitted information and follow the “Next Steps” :
