Looks like all we need is:

 

1.  $160 check to USDoS

2.  $50 to USPS for app acceptance and Photo

3.  Printed DS-11   separate pages 5-6 unsigned. 

4.  Cert of Citz original and 1 copy. 

 

Is that it? It looks like the Cert of Citz covers both Citz and ID. Is that correct?

Nope.  Wife applied at a county office.  Needed a state DL or other ID and a copy also.

USPS Passport documentation required.  You need both the Naturalization certificate plus a copy AND a separate ID and copy.

 

Step 1: Gather Documents Early

Generally, you should apply for your new passport as soon as you know you’ll be traveling internationally—at least several months in advance. Passport processing times may vary, so be sure to check the latest State Department service estimates. First-time applicants, minors, and applicants who need a new passport but may not renew by mail may submit their passport application at the Post Office. The U.S. State Department website explains what you'll need to bring with you.

  • Application forms (unsigned)
  • Proof of identity document and a photocopy of the front and back
  • Proof of U.S. Citizenship document and a photocopy of the front and back
  • Passport fees

Odd that it's listed under both requirements.

Proof of citizenship and proof of identity are 2 separate things here.

Yes, but the Cert of Citz is listed under proof of ID and under proof of Citz.

 

It's like when filing a W-7 you have to prove ID and citz but a Passport takes care of both.
