Expect significant processing delays in passport operations.
All expedite services are SUSPENDED at this time, unless there is a life-or-death emergency.
For additional information, please visit the U.S. Department of State’s website.
Due to the unprecedented impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, at this time we are not able to provide a specific update on when you will receive your passport and supporting documents.
PASSPORT PHOTO SERVICES
Passport photo services are being offered at this time. Please be advised that you will be asked to remove your facemask for your photo. Accommodations have been made so that social distancing requirements can be maintained while your facemask is briefly removed. Staff taking photos will be wearing facemasks and face shields, which can understandably cause apprehension for small children.
If your child becomes extremely upset, we may not be able to take an acceptable photo during your appointment. Please review photo requirements at the U.S. Department of State’s website. Here you will find helpful tips and “Photo Tools” should you choose to take and print your own photo prior to your appointment. Photos must be printed on matte or glossy photo paper.
