These events are for first-time customers and children who must apply in person using Form DS-11. Adults who are eligible to renew a passport using Form DS-82 can submit the application online or by mail at any time.

Some passport acceptance facilities are always open on the weekends. You can locate a facility near you by using our Acceptance Facility Search Tool at https://iafdb.travel.state.gov/.

Processing times

Passport acceptance facilities only offer routine and expedited service. The facilities do not issue passports. Each facility mails your application to the U.S. Department of State.
