We Process U.S. Passport Applications

New applications for U.S. Passports are processed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. by appointment only. Note: we are unable to take passport photos at this time. If you are applying, you must bring the required passport photo with you. Masks are required for service; however, we will ask you to remove it for identification purposes.

All persons applying for a new passport, including children, must be present. Both parents must sign the application of a passport for a child under the age of 16.

Renewals

We do not process passport renewals. Renewals are done on your own, which saves you a processing fee of $35. If you want to pay the processing fee and reapply as a new applicant, we can do that.

Photos

Our office is unable to take pictures at this time; you must have a passport photo with you when applying.

Passport photos are available for $17. We recommend that you do not wear white clothing for a passport picture.

Save $1 on your passport photo.
