Register of USA Passports 1834-1843 Surname A

Index to Register of Passports USA 14 November 1834 to 1843

These passports were granted to citizens of the United States going to foreign countries. Passports were granted to those satisified the requirement that they be “entitled to receive them” Each applicant had to present evidence that they were a citizen of the USA and a description of his person:

Age, Height (Stature), Forehead, Eyes, Nose, Mouth, Chin, Hair, Complexion, Face

If the applicant’s wife, children or servants were to accompany him, or any females under his protection, only their names and ages plus their relationship to the applicant was needed. 

The following is an INDEX to such passports issued from 1834 to 1843. The applicants residences covered all of the USA. 

I have included a few examples of the full passport details that can be found once you find an ancestor’s name in the index. 

To use this database, you will find a name of interest, then obtain LDS film #1463566 for the full reference. There are duplicate names. It may be that one person made more than one trip and required more than one passport, or it may be that there was more than one individual with the same name. A search of the film will provide the answers.

Lorine’s Note: The original list is in order of application. Although it would give some idea of the year of application (first names on the list closer to 1834, last on the list closer to 1843) it does not provide exact years so is of limited value in that format. Therefore I have rearranged the list into alphabetical order for easier searching
