To apply for a NEW passport, please bring the following:

• Applicants and relevant parties: All applicants must be present. Children 15 and under need both parents to be present. Teens between ages 16-17 should have at least one parent present.
• Passport application (DS-11): Applications may be filled out online at travel.state.gov and then printed single-sided. The Library also provides blank applications which must be filled out in BLACK ink only with no white-out.  DO NOT SIGN THE APPLICATION UNTIL ASKED TO DO SO BY THE AGENT.
• Proof of U.S. citizenship: Certified, original, long form birth certificates; naturalization papers; or a U.S. passport for applicants over the age of 16.
• Valid photo identification: Applicants and parents of applicants under age 16 must have a valid photo ID.
• Current passport photo: The Library does not provide photo services. However, passport photo services are available at many CVS, Walgreens, Costco and Sam’s Clubs.
• Fees:  Two separate fees are required:

1.) Passport Fee(s): Check or money order payable to the “U.S. Department of State” for each passport application. On the bottom left side of each check or money order, write applicant’s full name and date of birth.  Click here for fee chart.

2.) Execution Fee(s):  For each application, applicants must pay a $25 execution fee to the Library. The  Library will accept cash, credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover), check or money order made payable to “Round Lake Area Public Library”.  You may combine payments to the Library in one check or money order if there is more than one application.
