Passport Application Information

Please read all information thoroughly! If documents are missing or incomplete, you will be required to reschedule.

First Time Passport Application

If you've never had a U.S. passport, are 16 or under, or aren't allowed to renew an existing passport by mail, you will need to apply in person.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Documents

  • Application forms (unsigned)
  • Proof of identity document and a photocopy of the front and back
  • Proof of U.S. Citizenship document and a photocopy of the front and back

Step 2: Prepare Application Package

  • Complete your Form DS-11 Application for U.S. Passport on the State Department website.
  • Print your completed application. DO NOT SIGN YOUR APPLICATION. A Passport Agent must witness your signature.
  • Have a passport photo taken. Our office can take a passport photo for you at your appointment. Cost is $12.99. Do not wear glasses or camoflauge, and be prepared to move all hair out of your face.
  • Photocopy your proof of identity and U.S. Citizenship documents.
  • Calculate your fees. List of fees here. You must come with TWO (2) payments PER PERSON.
    • Execution Fee: The Weber State Cashiers office accepts credit cards for the execution ($35) and photo ($12.99) fees. This will be paid online during your appointment. 
    • Passport Application Fee: State Department passport application fees are mailed with your application. This will include the passport application fee, expedited fee (if applicable), and 1-2 day shipping (if applicable). You can pay with a personal check, certified check, cashier's check, traveler's check, or money order, payable to "U.S. Department of State." Starter checks are not allowed. These checks generally start with a "0". If all you have are starter checks please obtain a cashier's check or money order.

Step 3: Schedule an Appointment

Step 4: Attend in person appointment and pay processing fees

  • Processing fees vary by application type. Please find an updated List of fees here. Remember, you need TWO different payments-- one as a check or money order for the US Department of State for your application fees/expediting/1-2 day shipping, and the other as a credit card for the $35 execution fee and $12.99 photo.

Renewing Passport

  • Renewing Passports: If you answer 'Yes' to all 5 eligibility questions below you can mail your renewal form directly to the State Department.

Your passport:

  • Is in your possession to submit with your application.
  • Is undamaged other than normal "wear and tear."
  • Was issued when you were 16 or older.
  • Was issued within the last 15 years.
  • Was issued in your current name or you can document your name change. 

If you don't meet all the renewal requirements, you'll need to do a new, first-time passport application and make an in-person appointment.

 

 

Passports for Minors under 16

  • Both parents/guardians must authorize the issuance of a child's passport. The best way to give consent is for both parents/guardians to go with the child when applying.
  • Children need evidence of citizenship.
  • Parents/guardians need proof of parental relationship.
  • Children's passports are only valid for 5 years. When they expire they will need to make an in person appointment to apply for a new passport.
