Passports
The City Clerk’s Office at the Civic Center accepts Passport
Applications from 9:00am to 12:00pm, Monday through Friday.
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative went into effect on June
1, 2009. The WHTI is a result of the Intelligence Reform and
Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), which requires all
travelers to present a passport book or passport card when entering
the United States.
A passport book is valid for land, air and sea travel. The
passport card is only valid for land and sea travel between the U.S.
and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean region, and Bermuda.
Please Note: Children under age 16 will be able to continue
crossing land and sea borders using only a U.S. birth certificate
(or other form of U.S. citizenship such as a naturalization
certificate.). The original birth certificate or a copy may be used.
Passport fees vary depending on age, if it is a new application
or renewal, or if expedited service is required (see table below). If eligible,
the renewal few is $75 and takes two to four weeks to process.
Passport fees must be paid for with a check or money order, and
must be made out for the two separate fees – one for the passport
fee and one for the execution fee.
