What You Will Need:

  • Evidence of Identity
  • Passport Photo
  • Fees  

U.S. CITIZENSHIP

When applying for a U.S. Passport, you will need to have a certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state. A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office. We are not able to accept hospital certificates or birth abstracts. If you are a naturalized citizen, you will need your naturalization certificate. If you have an expired U.S. passport, it needs to be used in place of the birth certificate. Children must provide their birth certificate with the expired U.S. passport.

PASSPORT PHOTOS

Your passport photo is a vital part of your application. Your photo needs to be in color and taken within the past 6 months. You will need a 2"x2" with a full-face, front view (head should measure between 1 1/8" and 1 1/3") with a plain white or off-white background. We recommend you use a professional passport photo service. We are not able to take pictures at our facility.

EVIDENCE OF IDENTITY

When applying for a U.S. passport, acceptable identification must be presented at the time of application. The form of I.D. used must be valid and bear a picture of the holder. A current driver's license is the best form of I.D. Parents I.D. is used for minors. Minors between the age of 16-17 who have their own I.D. but are applying without a parent present must submit written consent from a parent to obtain a passport.
