Present your collection of Secondary Identification items to the agent. Take as many pieces of official mail and ID cards as you can. These items will not be accepted alone, but together will form the basis for your claim.
Present your Identifying Witness to the Issuance Agent. Make sure your witness has known you at least 2 years, is a legal citizen or permanent resident of the United States, and possesses a valid ID. Be sure to have your witness carry their state issued photo identification with them to the interview process. Primary identification is necessary so that the issuance officer can verify the identity of the witness, thereby giving credence to their claim.
Have your witness fill out Form DS-71, also known as an Affidavit of Identifying Witness, in the presence of the Passport Agent. Make sure your witness is prepared to swear to this affidavit in front of the agent and ratify your claim of identity.
