NOTE: If you submit a pay.gov proof of payment for a Form DS-11 instead of an adult passport renewal application (DS-82), please fill out the Form DS-11 application and schedule an in-person appointment. Fees are non-refundable.

Please note that pay.gov payments are immediate when using a credit card only. For all other methods of payment through pay.gov, please allow up to 72 hours for the payment to go through.

When scheduling the appointment, you should make a written note of the following:
- The appointment confirmation number generated.

Each applicant requiring a service at the Embassy must have a separate appointment.
Please contact the Embassy or Consulate if you are unable to schedule passport or CRBA services for all of your minor children on the same day: https://gt.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizens-services-navigator/
When you book the appointment, it is vital that you print or note down your password and the appointment date and time. You will not receive an automated appointment confirmation email or reminder emails.
Appropriate application forms for the required passport service can be found on the Embassy’s website at https://gt.usembassy.gov/passports/ .
If using the online version of the application form, once you have answered all the questions the form will generate as a PDF file. You must print the application form as it cannot be submitted to the Embassy electronically. If you have difficulty with the online application form, there is a downloadable PDF version which can be printed and completed by hand using black ink.
Note: The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala currently does not accept applications without the barcode in the upper left corner.
