Passports are required for travel via air to all areas of the Caribbean, Mexico, Canada and all international destinations.  Until 12/31/07, all cruise passengers that are U.S. Citizens will not have to have a valid passport for travel to the Caribbean and Mexico.  After 12/31/07 ALL U.S. citizens will be required to have a valid passport for any travel outside the United States.  That includes all modes of transportation including car.

Passport Processing Times Have Increased Due to High Volume.  
File early.  We recommend applying at least 4 months prior to your trip.

Passport application forms are available thru the links below or through the US Post Office at each branch.  The current fee is $97 (not including pictures).  Typical processing time is 8-10 weeks, and can be longer depending on volume.  

To process your application, you will need:

  1.  2 passport photos

  2. proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate)

  3. a valid photo ID such as your driver's license.

The Passport Services Office provides information and services to American citizens about how to obtain, replace or change a passport.

A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.

New Application for a U.S. Passport

To obtain a passport for the first time, you need to go in person to one of over 8,000 passport acceptance facilities located throughout the United States with two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license.

Acceptance facilities include many Federal, state and probate courts, post offices, some public libraries and a number of county and municipal offices. There are also 13 regional passport agencies, and 1 Gateway City Agency, which serve customers who are traveling within 2 weeks (14 days), or who need foreign visas for travel. Appointments are required in such cases.

You’ll need to apply in person if you are applying for a U.S. passport for the first time:  if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; or if your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost or stolen.
