U.S. Passport Applications Received by Fiscal Year (1986-2023)

Please note: We use the same application forms for passport books and cards. Many customers apply for both documents at the same time, which means that the number of passports issued each year will be higher than the number of applications received. The federal government's fiscal year begins on October 1 and ends on September 30. We may issue passports in the next fiscal year from applications that we received in the previous fiscal year.
