The National Archives Building in Washington DC has passport applications 
through March 31, 1925. We only have the indexes, however, through 1923.

Many of the indexes to the passport applications, as well as a number of 
actual applications, have been microfilmed.  Many of our microfilm series are 
available in the Regional Archives Records Service Centers.  
For information on the one closest to you, see :

Microfilm may be purchased for $34 per roll ($39 for foreign orders). 
Call 1-800-234-8861. 
You will need to know the publication number (M or T number) & the roll number. 
If you don't have those numbers, first try finding them in the Microfilm Locator at 
<a href="http://www.nara.gov/nara/searchmicro.html">http://www.nara.gov/nara/searchmicro.html</a>

Passport Microfilm Publications include M1371, M1372, M1490, and M1848. 
All four-microfilm publications are described within the Microfilm Locator. 

Some of the microfilm has been purchased by libraries or other research 
institutions and may be available in private research centers or through 
inter-library loan from them. Your local librarian can help you look into this.
