New Adult Passport
It is easy to get your new passport with our regular rush or standard service.
You'll need to gather some documents, take them to an acceptance agent
(usually a nearby post office, see below for more) to be witnessed
and sealed and then send the package to us. In some states, the Clerk
of the Court performs this service.
If you are 17 or younger you must apply
for a children's passport. If you have any questions please call
us. If you need super rush service
then you must click
here for special instructions.
  Gather the following application documents:
- A certified birth certificate (with raised seal), naturalization
certificate, or earlier U.S. passport;
- 2 professionally-taken recent passport photos - do not use
kiosk or your own photos;
