Bring a photocopy of your proof of identity. Each applicant must bring a front-and-back photocopy of the ID that will be presented at the time of passport acceptance.
Passports applicants are required to provide two recent identical photographs, measuring 2-by-2 inches, on a white background. Passport photo service will be provided on the site.
All applicants must appear in person, including minors. Minors under the age of 16 must appear with both parents. If one parent is not available, a notarized authorization from the absent parent is required along with a photo copy (front and back) of the absent parent’s ID.
