  • Create a MyTravelGov account. MyTravelGov is a secured, encrypted portal. Watch this video to learn more about creating your account.
  • Visit eCRBA and submit your application online. Review the necessary documents for the eCRBA application here.

The child must appear in person at our office at the time you file the application. Both parents (even non-US citizens) must be present to execute the passport application.

Do you wish to apply electronically for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (eCRBA)?

  • Yes, I wish to apply using an electronic application (I acknowledge that I must allow five business days between my payment and the appointment to use this option). 

Once completed, print it out single-sided and bring it to your interview.

  • Handwrite any information that needs to be added or corrected after printing out the form.
