Where to get a Passport

Passports can be obtained at government buildings, including the United States Post Office, any local Municipal Court or Municipal Building, most District Court buildings, and most neighborhood service centers. Check with the US passport service online to locate the best information on where to get a passport and additional passport and visa services in your area.
In addition to information on where to get a passport in person, some travelers will qualify to renew their passport through the mail. If you are applying for a passport for the first time, you must apply in person. If, however, you are renewing a passport and were not under the age of 16 when you got your last passport, you may be eligible for renewal through the mail through most passport and visa services. Check with the US passport service for the latest details regarding passport renewal through the mail.
