It takes at least 6 weeks for the federal government to process passport applications.
Is there any way of getting a passport more quickly?
Yes, you can pay an additional $60 per person to expedite this process. This will reduce the time to process your application to about 2.5 to 3 weeks not including mail time.
If you provide us with 1 pre-paid over-night envelope from the post office and pay an additional amount of $20.66 payable to the Department of State for the return mailing this may reduce the processing time even more. There are also expedite companies that help speed the process. Just look in the Yellow Pages under "Passports."
Will a minor under the age of 14 need to be present when submitting an application for a passport?
Yes. As of February 1, 2004, anyone who applies for a passport, regardless of age, must be present in front of the passport agent. Both parents of the minor must be present.
What kind of birth certificate will I need to bring for my passport application? And, will you be keeping it?
Bring a certified copy of your birth certificate, issued by a state or county, not the hospital. We cannot use a “copy of a certified copy” of a birth certificate, nor one that has only been notarized. We submit the certified copy of your birth certificate with your application to Passport Services, but it will be returned to you by them, with your passport.
What kind of picture is required for a passport?
One 2 by 2 color photograph taken within the last 6 months. The photograph must be clear, front view, full face with a plain light background. The photograph must be printed on photo quality paper. Please check your telephone directory under “passport photos” or "photographers" for this service. How can I pay for this?
We accept check, money order, or cashier’s check for the payment made to U.S. Passport Services. The separate $25 Court Clerk's fee can be made in cash if paying at our downtown location.
Can I sign the application and give all the information to my spouse or parent to submit for me?
No. All parties must be present to submit their applications regardless of age, and you cannot sign until you've been sworn in by the accepting agent.
Will you accept passport renewal forms so I won't have to mail it in?
The federal government will not let us accept renewal forms. Anyone who has an expired passport which was issued within the past 15 years, to anyone aged 16 or over, will be using a DS-82 renewal form. The DS-82 should be mailed to the address stated on the back of the application. Not only will this save you the $25 fee, but it will save you time as well. However, for those who may have been issued a passport more than 15 years ago, or those who were under the age of 16 when you obtained your previous passport, form DS-82 is not to be used. Those passports are not considered renewable. Instead, the State Department requires submission of a DS-11 form to the accepting agent. You will submit an application just as though it was your first. The only difference will be that you should submit your previous passport in lieu of a certified copy of your birth certificate.
*NOTICE: All court costs and license fees are due at time of filing. The court clerk does not mail out renewal notices.
