Background:
To help the passport application process, the Postal Service recommends bringing the following:
- Proof of American citizenship. This must be a certified birth certificate (not a copy) issued by the city, county or state, a previous U.S. passport, a certificate of citizenship or a naturalization certificate. (Please note: a hospital-issued birth certificate alone is not acceptable.)
- Proof of identity. This must be a previous U.S. passport, a naturalization certificate, a certificate of citizenship or a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID.
A photocopy of the applicants ID (front and back) must be submitted with the application. For minors under 16, a photocopy of both parents ID must be submitted.
Customers have the option of applying for a passport book, good for all international travel, or a passport card, which is less expensive but good only for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region and Bermuda.

Travelers are encouraged to apply for a passport several months before they are scheduled to travel overseas. A passport application is normally processed by the State Department within five to six weeks. However, for an additional fee, the State Department will expedite the application and process it within there business days, and for those who need speedy delivery, the U.S. Postal Service offers Express Mail next day delivery both to and from the State Department.
Information on passports and how to apply can be found at www.usps.com/passport/ or travel.state.gov. U.S. citizens may also obtain passport information by phone, in English and Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 1-877-487-2778.
