Payment Type
All payments must be made by check or money order. Each person’s application must have a separate check or money order. Applications can get separated while at the Passport Agency, so they may not come in the mail at the same time even if applied for at the same time.
Special Passports/Requirements
You can now get a passport card for land and sea only to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda for a separate fee. You can apply for a passport book and card, or one or the other.
There are special requirements for children under age 16 applying for a passport. Please inquire with an Acceptance Agent for details.
