We need a notarized letter from you requesting the return of your valid, unexpired passport. A notarized letter means that a notary public witnesses your signature and verifies your identity. The letter must include:

• Name of the court or agency to which you surrendered your passport 
• Your full name 
• Date of birth 
• Contact phone number 
• Mailing address
• Social Security number
• Copy of valid, government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license)

If you are currently under supervised release or probation (or have recently completed it), your probation officer must write a letter to us authorizing release of the passport to you. The letter must:

• Be on official letterhead
• Be signed
• Include the officer’s current phone number, government email address, and mailing address
• Your scheduled probation completion date

You may submit your documents in one of three ways:

1. Email: PPTReturnRequests@state.gov
