• original U.S. Consular Report of Birth Abroad; or
• original U.S. Naturalization Certificate or Certificate of Citizenship; or
• Evidence of acquisition of U.S. citizenship through birth abroad to a U.S. citizen; your U.S. citizen parent should complete the DS-5507 Affidavit of Physical Presence or Residence, Parentage, and Support and sign in the presence of a consular officer or U.S. notary.

Proof of identity, such as:

• a valid passport of any country; or
• a valid driver’s license with photograph; or
• a valid national identity card with photograph; or

Required documents for all applicants.   Please make sure you have the following items BEFORE you come to your appointment:

• Complete the passport application form using the electronic passport wizard, print this DS-11 form, and bring it to the interview.  Please do not sign the form until you are at the Embassy, in front of the consular officer.
• One passport photo – 2”×2” (5×5 cm) against a white background and without glasses.  There are several photo studios close to the Embassy that are familiar with our passport photo requirements.
• The fee for a passport book for an adult is US $165. We accept U.S. dollars or euros, payable in cash or by credit card. (If you are also applying for a passport card, used primarily when crossing the Canadian or Mexican borders, the card for an adult is an additional $30.)
• An A5 padded envelope (podložena kuverta) with €2.66 in Slovene postage stamps (two “c” class stamps).  We will mail back your passport via registered mail to your home in Slovenia or a Slovenian post office.  (If you are also applying for a U.S. passport card, please provide two envelopes with postage, as the passport card will arrive 2-3 weeks after the passport book.)

All passport services are handled by appointment only, using our online calendar.  Please make an appointment.

Due to security procedures, we are only able to admit visitors who have business with the consular section, their minor children, or a companion to provide necessary physical assistance.  We are not able to admit other visitors without prior special arrangement. If there will be someone accompanying the primary applicant, please email us and provide the name of the primary applicant, the names of anyone accompanying the primary applicant, and the date of the appointment.  Third party attendance at Passport and CRBA appointment interviews (click here).
