Passport Services

Passport Services are suspended as of 3/14/2020 in an abundance of caution over COVID-19 concerns.

The Dorris Van Doren, Esperanza Acosta Moreno, and the Richard Burges branch libraries are official Passport Acceptance Facilities for the U.S. Department of State. 

They offer passport processing and photo services 5 days a week, including Saturdays (see schedule below), from opening until 4:30 PM. No appointment necessary.  

The offices will accept all necessary documents and forward those to the US Department of State for processing. The process for obtaining a US Passport usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.
