Passport Services

Important Note - On February 1, 2008, the U.S. Government increased its fees for certain U.S. citizen passport services.  For adult applicants renewing a passport, the total fee has increased to $75.  For first-time applicants age 16 and over, the total fee has increased to $100.  The fee for minors under 16 years of age will be $85.

Effective February 1, 2008, passport applicants who are U.S. citizen minors under the age of 16 must appear personally with their parents to establish identity, proof of citizenship and proof of relationship.  For parental application permission, both parents must appear together and sign, or one parent may appear to sign and submit evidence of sole authority.  Minors age 16 and 17 may apply in person with their own identification, but for security reasons, parental consent may be required to accompany the child and present identification.

For additional information related to the above new changes, please see the following Frequently Asked Questions.
