美国国务院试点DS-11护照申请网上提交：11月16日起部分首次申请者可在线办理
美国国务院宣布，自 2026 年 11 月 16 日起试点允许部分申请人通过官网 America.gov 在线提交 DS-11 护照申请表，试点期至 2027 年 11 月 20 日，届时可能延长。目前，只有符合续办条件者使用的 DS-82 表可以在线提交，首次申请和多数续办情形使用的 DS-11 表长期以来必须本人到受理点递交。
试点首批开放对象为身在美国的 18 岁以上成年人，分两类：一是曾持有完整有效期美国护照、但不符合 DS-82 在线续办资格的人；二是以美国公民及移民服务局签发的入籍证明作为公民身份凭证的首次申请成年人。申请人需持有 Login.gov 认可的身份证件，例如有效的美国护照簿或护照卡、各州及哥伦比亚特区、领地签发的驾照或非驾照身份证，手机驾照不在认可之列。
在线流程包括：在 America.gov 回答资格问题，经 Login.gov 完成含活体检测的身份核验并提供社会安全号和住址，返回 America.gov 确认个人信息、上传护照照片、选择护照种类和递送方式，最后录制本人宣誓视频，由护照审理人员审核。国务院提醒，即使无需本人到场执行宣誓，35 美元的执行费仍然适用。
国务院表示，未来试点范围预计将扩大到使用参与州出生证明的申请人、持公民纸和海外领事出生报告的人群，以及符合条件的海外申请人。据该部门统计，2025 财年 DS-11 申请量达 13,913,231 份，平均填表时间约 85 分钟。此次试点说明已刊登于《联邦公报》，公众可通过 Regulations.gov 提交意见，案卷号为 DOS-2026-1222。（来源：美国国务院）
State Department Pilots Online DS-11 Passport Submissions: Some First-Time Applicants Can Apply Online Starting November 16
The U.S. Department of State announced a pilot program that, starting November 16, 2026, will let certain applicants submit Form DS-11 passport applications online through America.gov. The pilot is scheduled to run through November 20, 2027, unless extended. Until now, only DS-82 renewal applications could be submitted online; Form DS-11 — used by first-time applicants and many renewal applicants — has long had to be executed in person at an acceptance facility.
The first groups eligible for the pilot are adults 18 and older located in the United States who either were previously issued a fully valid U.S. passport but are not eligible to renew on Form DS-82, or are first-time adult applicants using a USCIS Certificate of Naturalization as evidence of citizenship. Applicants need an identity document accepted by Login.gov, such as a valid U.S. passport book or card or a state, District of Columbia or territorial driver's license or non-driver ID; mobile driver's licenses are not accepted.
The online process involves answering eligibility questions on America.gov, completing identity verification through Login.gov — including a liveness check and providing a Social Security number and address — then returning to America.gov to confirm biographic information, submit a passport photo, choose the product and delivery options, and record themselves reciting the oath of allegiance, which a passport agent will review. The department noted that the $35 execution fee still applies even though the oath is not executed in person.
The State Department said the pilot is expected to expand later to applicants using birth certificates from participating states, Certificates of Citizenship, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, and eligible applicants living overseas. In fiscal year 2025, DS-11 volume reached 13,913,231 applications, with an average completion time of about 85 minutes. The pilot notice was published in the Federal Register, and public comments may be submitted through Regulations.gov under Docket No. DOS-2026-1222. (Source: U.S. Department of State)
