**PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT, THAT YOU MUST ACCURATELY LIST THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY.  WE TYPICALLY ACCOUNT FOR 15 MINUTES PER PERSON.  DO NOT SAY YOU HAVE 2 PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY, AND SHOW UP WITH 3, THIS WILL CAUSE THE APPOINTMENT AFTER YOU TO BE DELAYED.  WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS.**

It may take up to 4 weeks, from the day your application reaches the passport facility.  During these 4 weeks, the application is delivered to a mail facility, the payment processed, and the application is scanned and sent to Passport Services for processing.  Customers who check their status online at travel.state.gov prior to 4 weeks from the date you applied, may receive a response of "Not Found".  This means that the application is still in transit to one of our passport agencies and centers.

We provide money orders (via payment by debit card), if you don't have a personal check for payment to U.S. Department of State.
