Please carefully read all of the information below ahead of your appointment:

The US Department of State must receive separate checks for EACH passport applicant. If you cannot provide this during your appointment, we will not be able to process your application until we receive separate payments.
  • US Department of State: A separate check or money order is required for each applicant.
  • DC Treasurer: A combined check or money order is accepted for multiple applicants (e.g., a family of four: $35 acceptance fee + $15 photo fee = $200 total)."
To ensure faster, more accurate processing, please complete your passport application (DS-11 or DS-82) using the online form filler at travel.state.gov before sitting with an agent at the MLK Jr. Memorial Library Passport Acceptance Office. The online tool ensures legibility and generates a required barcode. If you cannot print, email your completed form to passport.dcpl@dc.gov upon arrival for printing.

Why Use the Online Form Filler?

  • Improved Accuracy & Legibility: Prevents errors that could delay your application.
  • Faster Processing: Generates a scannable barcode for efficiency.
  • Completeness: Ensures all required fields are filled.
