Passports

Passport applications are often a valuable source of genealogical information. NARA has passport applications from October 1795-March 1925. The U. S. Department of State has passport applications from April 1925 to the present.

Some immigrants applied for passports to return home to visit family or friends. These records usually give a place of birth or at least the destination (which is often the home town)

The first passport issued in USA was dated July 1796. However until 1914 American citizens did not require a passport to travel abroad.

After 1888 there were separate passports for native citizens, naturalized citizens and derivative citizens. Passports may include the following information:

  • family/marital status
  • birth place and date
  • residence
  • naturalization year
  • name of ship, port and date of entry (after 1900)
Passports before 1925 have been filmed by NARA and LDS church as passport records, passport registers, and passport indexes
