Passport Services
We can process applications for

- adults who do not qualify for renewal because their passport is:
- lost, stolen, or damaged, or
- issued over 15 years ago, or
- issued when they were under age 16
- any child under age 16 applying for a passport
- any adult age 16 or 17 applying for the first time or renewing a passport issued under age 16
Do not sign your form until asked to do so by a passport acceptance agent.
You must provide one current 2" x 2" color passport photo with white or light colored background. Do not attach or staple your photo to the form. The acceptance agent or passport employee will review the photo and staple it for you.
