Passport Card
The wallet-size passport card is convenient and less expensive than the passport book. However, the U.S. Passport Card cannot be used for international air travel. This new travel document can be used to enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and/or Bermuda at land border crossings or sea ports-of-entry.

Requirements For A Passport Book And/Or Card:

  • Proof of U.S. Citizenship*
  • Proof of Identity**
  • Social Security number ( regardless of age )

* A previous U.S. passport, a certified government-issued birth certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth, a naturalization certificate, or a certificate of citizenship is valid proof of citizenship

** A previous U.S. passport, a naturalization certificate, certificate of citizenship, or a current valid driver’s license, government or military I.D. is valid proof of identity. A social Security card, Voter Registration card or military discharge papers are NOT ACCEPTABLE PROOF OF IDENTITY!

Passports For Children
To apply for a U.S. passport for a child age 15 and younger, BOTH parents or legal guardians MUST appear in person with the child, OR provide either a notarized consent form that indicates both agree to the issuance of a passport for the child or proof that the parent has sole authority to obtain the passport. You must provide current, valid identification and proof of your relationship to the child, who must also appear in person.
If only one parent or guardian can appear, we can provide a statement of consent ( DS-3053 ) for the absent parent to fill out, have notarized and send a front and back copy of their driver’s license. This document must be provided at the time the application is applied for.

Renewals
If the passport was issued on or after the 16th birthday, was issued less than 15 years ago, your name is the same or you can produce name-change documentation, and the passport itself is still in good physical condition with the photo intact, the passport may qualify for renewal.
Form DS-82 must be completed to apply for a renewal.
