Now is the best time to get a passport before passport fees increase this spring. Starting April 2, the mandated passport execution fee changes from $25 to $35. This fee applies to passport applications submitted to authorized agents, including U.S. Post Offices. Other associated fees also will increase.
When filing a passport application, travelers need to bring with them the following items:
- A completed DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport form, which can be found at the Department of State website at https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports.html. Do not sign the form
- Proof of U.S. citizenship
- Proof of identity (valid driver’s license, government employee ID, military ID)
- Photocopies of U.S. citizenship and identification documents (these will be sent with the application, but bring originals for proof documentation)
- Appropriate payment. Acceptable forms of payment can be found on the Department of State website. (Please note that neither debit nor credit cards are acceptable forms of payment by the Department of State)
- Appropriate passport photo, if passport photo services are not available at the selected Post Office location.
