Processing Times

Visit travel.state.gov’s “Processing Times” page

In a Hurry to Get your Passport?

If you need your passport more quickly than the amount of time it takes for it to be routinely processed you can expedite your application. If you require your passport in less time than an expedited application, visit travel.state.gov’s “Get My Passport Fast” page.

Renewals

Can I Renew? (PDF)

Renewals CANNOT be handled by the Library, however, if you require a photo, we can set an appointment to also review your DS-82 Renewal form (Form Filler) for accuracy. There is a $10 fee per passport photo but no fee for reviewing the DS-82 Renewal form. If you have a passport that was issued less than 15 years ago and you were at least 16 years old when it was issued, a self-service renewal is likely the correct option. Visit travel.state.gov’s “Passport Renewal” page to confirm that renewal by mail or online is appropriate.

Note: If your last passport was issued when you were under 16, you will need to fill out a new DS-11 form. The Library accepts appointments for this form. 

Passport Photos

The Library is able to take your photo as part of your Passport appointment for DS-11 applications or you may bring one with you from another vendor. The Library is also able to take your photo if you need a Passport sized photo (2 x 2 inch) for mailing your own renewal. This service is by appointment during our above service hours. 

Passport Photo Fee: $10
