- Where to Apply
- Required Documents/ Forms
All applicants need to personally appear at the U.S. Embassy for all passport services. We highly recommend that you fill out the required forms before coming into the U.S. Embassy. Forms are available through the links below and hard copies are available at the American Center located in Geza Banda (former Sudanese Embassy).
All non-emergency passports are produced in the United States, and the average processing time is ten working days. Please plan ahead and schedule your travel accordingly. You will retain your old passport until your new passport is ready, at which time we will cancel and return your old passport. Visas in the canceled passport will remain valid.
If you are applying for a passport for a child under age 16, both parents and the child need to be present unless one parent presents an original court order for sole custody, a death certificate for the other parent, or an original notarized DS-3053 Statement of Consent (PDF 51.5 KB) (with passport or other ID copy attached) from the absent parent.
All passport services require an online appointment. All consular fees are payable in U.S. dollars or the nakfa equivalent.
Social Security Numbers (SSN) are mandatory when applying for a U.S. passport. All applicants must provide a SSN on the DS-11 or DS-82 when applying for a new U.S. passport or renewing their U.S. passport. If an applicant has a SSN and fails to provide it on the application, the application will be denied. If an applicant has never been issued a SSN, s/he will may apply for an SSN at the time of submitting the application or will need to sign a sworn statement in front of the Consular Officer stating that a SSN was never issued to him/her.
Apply for a New / First Passport
If you have never had a U.S. passport before, you must first establish U.S. citizenship. Please visit our section Apply for Citizenship on how to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad for your child born outside of the United States.
