To obtain a passport for the first time, applicants must apply in person with two photographs, proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license. You’ll also need to apply in person: if your expired U.S. passport is not in your possession; if your previous U.S. passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago; if your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; or if your currently valid U.S. passport has been lost or stolen.

U.S. citizens now have the option of applying in advance for a new, limited-use, wallet-sized passport card. It will only be valid for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region, and Bermuda.

Passport fees:

Adults [age 16 and older] Passport book application fee $75 + the execution fee $25 = $100
Adults [age 16 and older] Passport card application fee $20 + the execution fee $25 = $ 45
Child [age 15 and younger] Passport book application fee $60 + the execution fee $25 = $ 85
Child [age 15 and younger] Passport card application fee $10 + the execution fee $25 = $ 35

Passport photos are available for a $15 charge.

More information is available on the Postal Service website at www.usps.com/passport or the Department of State website at http://travel.state.gov/index.html. To save additional time, customers can download the passport application from the Department of State web site and already have it completed when they attend the Passport Fair.
