  • Having all necessary photocopies prior to coming to your appointment will decrease your wait time at the library.
  • Making an appointment does not guarantee your appointment time if the necessary forms are not completed when you arrive for your appointment.
  • We do not accept passport renewals. Passport renewals must be submitted directly to the U.S. Dept. of State through the mail. To verify that you qualify for a passport renewal by mail, please visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew.html

Passport Photo:

The library does not provide photo services. A passport photo must be 2 x 2-inches in size with a white background printed on photo quality paper. The U.S. Department of State has strict photo guidelines and acceptance of your photo is always at the discretion of the U.S. passport agency. Please visit travel.state.gov for more detailed information about photos.

We do not recommend attempting to take your own passport photo. There are several places near the library that provide this service such as Walgreens, CVS, etc.

Important Information:

  • If one parent is unable to attend, a notarized  DS-3053 Statement of Consent form must be submitted along with a copy of the front and back of the non-applying parent’s ID.
  • Acceptable forms of Identification include: a valid Illinois driver’s license, valid passport, or military ID card.
  • Additional documentation is needed for births abroad as well as both domestic and foreign adoptions.
