Passport Applications
Passport Services are by Appointment Only
Adult Passport Renewals do not require making a personal appearance before an Acceptance Agent; therefore, we do not accept Passport Renewal Applications (Form DS-82) at this office. For complete passport information visit the U.S. Department of State.
Requirements
Each applicant must be present when submitting their application.

Prepare For Your Appointment and Avoid Common Mistakes
I didn’t bring a check or money order, but I have cash or debit. Is that sufficient?
No, the U.S. Department of State only accepts checks or money orders. Review Passport Fees for more information.
Note: A check or money order must be in the exact amount. The U.S. Department of State will not accept the incorrect amount. Do not include our facility fees with the U.S. Department of State fees as we are two separate entities.
How can I pay your facility?
We accept cash, check, money order, or credit card (enhanced processing fee).
Execution Fee: $35.00 per application | Photo Fee: $20.00 per applicant
Can I fill out the application at the time of my appointment?
Yes, but we ask that you fill out your application prior to your appointment to ensure that it does not run into the following appointment. You can fill out Form DS-11 by using the Form Filler tool online or grabbing a paper copy from our facility beforehand.
Note: Use black ink only.
I only have a photocopy of my birth certificate. Will this work?
No, photocopies alone are not acceptable. A certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate must contain a raised, embossed, or multi-colored authorized seal of the issuing registrar’s office. In this case, contact the Office of Vital Records in the state where your birth occurred. Review Citizenship Evidence for more information.
Why can’t you process my renewal?
Per the U.S. Department of State, Acceptance Agents should never assist nor charge fees regarding Adult Passport Renewals. You will handle the renewal, Form DS-82, yourself via mail or online. Before scheduling an appointment, ensure that you are not eligible to renew by reviewing Renew or Replace a Passport.
My child’s other parent can’t make the appointment. Can you do it without them?
No, all children under age 16 must apply for a passport in person with two parents or guardians. If one parent or guardian cannot apply with their child, that parent or guardian must sign and date Form DS-3053 in the presence of a certified notary public and submit a photocopy of the front-and-back of the photo ID that they provided to the notary public. Review Apply for a Child Under 16 for more information.
Does my child need to be present at the time of appointment?
Yes, all applicants must be present at the time of appointment.
I’m bringing in a photo taken elsewhere. Can you tell me if it’ll be approved or not?
No, if your photo was taken elsewhere, we won’t know if it’ll be approved or not. That will ultimately be up to the passport specialist. Review Passport Photos for more information.
Note: If our facility takes your photo, our software tells us if the photo will be approved or rejected.
