A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.
United States passports are issued to citizens and nationals of the United States of America for the purpose of international travel. They entitle the bearer to the protection of U.S. consular officials overseas. Responsibility for their issuance lies with the Passport Services of the Bureau of Consular Affairs within the U.S. Department of State, which has numerous acceptance agencies and agents. For citizens abroad, passport applications are forwarded back to a passport center by the local U.S. embassy or consulate.
