So, I’m trying to fill out form DS-11 (Application for US Passport), and lines 14 and 15 want my parent’s birthplace. Do they want city/sate (the box is kinda small for that) or just “USA”? (Or do they want lat/lon? 🙂 )

Since they have a box for US citizen, I’m guessing they want city/state.

guess I will have to print small (I’m planning on filling the .pdf file on computer as much as possible)

Yes, they want city and state. I had to add it on mine, and yes, write tiny!
