We are located in Suite 320, 2380 Washington Blvd, Ogden, UT 84401.

We will process your application and forward the package to the U.S. Department of State Passport Agency in Irving, TX, which is the department that issues the passport.

The passport applicant needs to be present when submitting the application. (You can’t have someone else turn it in for you.)

Please have the following ready when you arrive:

1. Check or money order made out to the U.S. Department of State. (NOTE: “Counter checks” and “Starter checks” will not be accepted by the Department of State.)
2. Any form of payment for the Weber County processing fee.
3. Passport application completed in black ink. (Yes, the Department of State requires that you include your social security number on the application.)
4. Original birth certificate (or other proof of citizenship).
5. Current photo ID.
6. 2” x 2” passport photo.

Yes, you are able to purchase your passport photo in our office for $10.00 an applicant.

That depends on whether you want a passport book or card, are an adult or minor, and if you want your passport sent expedited or routine delivery. Please see the Passport Fees Chart.

A passport book is what people typically think of when they think of a passport.  It is good for any kind of travel anywhere in the world.

A passport card is about the same size and shape as a driver’s license. It is valid only for travel by land and by sea to the following locations: Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. The passport card is not valid for air travel to any country.

See our Wait Time Chart for a picture of the best times to come to the Clerk’s Office. Earlier in the day, and earlier in the week are usually the shortest wait times. Fridays are usually especially busy, as are the hours around lunch time. If you are able to, please plan to apply for your passport outside of those times.

Processing a single passport application can take 30 minutes. If you have several passports to process, please arrive earlier in the day to allow us time to complete all of the applications.

Due to COVID-19, Department of State estimates are that routine service will take up to 11 weeks to get your passport in the mail after turning in your application. If you expedite the process (for an additional fee), it can take up to 7 weeks.

If you apply for your passport with routine service and need it more quickly than 11 weeks, you can contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) for assistance at 1-877-487-2778.

If you need your passport in less than three weeks, please contact a Department of State Passport Agency directly to request an appointment with them. You can learn more about that process through these links:

Both parents listed on the child's birth certificate must be present with photo ID. The child must also be present.

If a parent’s name does not match the name on the birth certificate, supporting documents will need to be included that explain the name change.  Any supporting documents (i.e. divorce decree, death certificate, marriage license, etc.) need to be either the original or a certified copy.

If one parent absolutely cannot be present, they can fill out a Statement of Consent to be brought with the parent that can be present.  They must also provide a copy of the front and back of the ID of the absent parent.

For additional information on parental consent, including what to do if one parent cannot be present, or if one parent has sole custody, please see the U.S. Department of State – Children Under 16 information page.

We do not handle any of those through our office. You will need to send your renewal application or passport change form directly to the US Department of State. You can learn more about that here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

Renewal Exceptions (these can be done through our office):

Adult passport expired for more than 5 years: You will need to submit a new application.

Renewing a child’s passport: You will need to submit a new application.
