Where do I find passport records?

There is no specific form used to order passport applications.

The National Archives has passport applications from October 1795 - March 31, 1925; the US Department of State has passport applications from April 1925 to the present. We only have the indexes, however, through 1923.  For records after 1925 (or for indexes after 1923), please see the information below about State Department records.

For a complete article on passport applications in the National Archives, please see:

The State Department Passport Services has passport applications from 1925 to the present.  It also has the indexes for 1923-1925.
