How To Download Free Passport Application Form After Submission

Passport Application Numbers are used by the Department of State (DOS) to track an application once it has entered processing. Creation of a PAN may take up to four weeks after submission of materials.
Additionally, please note that at this time Congressional inquiries for in-person passport appointments are only available for travelers who are within two weeks of their date of travel. More information about these appointments can be found here.
You may do so by calling the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778. Please note that doing so does not guarantee that you will receive your passport in time. In some cases, my staff may be able to send your credit card information to the agency directly.
Federal agencies request that only one Congressional office submit an inquiry on behalf of a given constituent. Multiple inquiries from different Congressional offices may cause your case to be delayed. If another Congressional office is already assisting you in obtaining your passport, please continue to work directly with that office. Should you require additional help after working with that office, please notify my office.
Form DS-160, also called the Online Nonimmigrant Visa Application, is a key step in applying for temporary U.S. visas, including the B-1/B-2 travel visa. Since the form is electronic and filed through an online portal, it can be difficult to know exactly how to go back and edit your responses after you submit it.
Yes, you can change your DS-160 Form after submitting and booking an appointment, but you will have to pay the fee again and book a new appointment. This is because you will be submitting a new form (with a new bar code) rather than editing the existing one.
The Immigration Department pledges to complete the processing of applications in 5 working days after receiving all necessary documents, application fees and photographs, and in 10 working days for applications from children aged under 11 not holding a Hong Kong permanent identity card (working days denote Monday to Friday excluding General Holidays). In general, applicants can obtain the new passport on the next working day after the completion of the processing by the Immigration Department. For applications not submitted in person (e.g. via drop-in box), an extra two to three working days may be required. The processing time may be longer for passport application due to loss, damage or amendment of personal particulars. The time for despatching the prepared passport from HKSAR to Chinese Diplomatic and Consular Missions / the Immigration Divisions of the Mainland Offices is excluded from the processing time listed above. The mail service for passport delivery is provided by the Hong Kong Post and the availability of mail service varies by country/region. Please visit the Hong Kong Post website ( ) for the updated information on the provision of airmail services. Whether this pledge can be met will also depend on the circumstances of individual applications and the number of applications received at a particular time. If applicants have any travel plans, they should apply early.
