The Declaration Form For Passport is a crucial document in the U.S. passport application process, mandated by federal law and administered by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs. This form is required for all passport applications, whether for first-time passports, renewals, or replacements of lost or stolen documents. It collects comprehensive personal information, including biographical data, citizenship evidence, and legal declarations, ensuring compliance with U.S. passport issuance requirements and international travel regulations.
