PROCEDURE FOR

delay. An incomplete or incorrectly completed application
will delay the issuance of the passport.

service), you must have the following documents executed by a
Passport Acceptance Agent (either an authorized Main Branch U.S.
Post Office or Local Clerk of the Court).
Each applicant must make a personal appearance before
a clerk at the Post Office or Courthouse authorized to execute
passport applications. For the list of

applications in your area, please click here.

determination of passport eligibility.

envelope by an authorized Passport Acceptance Agent, which you

the U.S. Passport Agency. This envelope must have the certified

to submit the application to the Passport Agency.
