Passport Fair

St. Charles City-County Library is offering a drop-in, first-come, first-served passport application fair. Upon arrival, you will be checked in and directed where to go to apply for passports for yourself or your whole family.

Please note that everyone applying for a passport must be present, and both parents must be present to apply for children under the age of 16. You can read more about all requirements at https://stchlibrary.org/passport-notary-services.

Read "The Application for U.S. Passport" (Form DS-11). Copies are available for FREE from the Library or at the Department of State's official website, travel.state.gov.

Figure out your total fees at https://travel.state.gov/content/dam/passports/forms-fees/Fee%20Chart%202024%20Update.pdf.

We have had a lot of interest in this event. Though this is scheduled until 3 pm, we suggest you arrive well before the cutoff time to ensure service. Anyone who cannot be served on the date of the fair will be provided support in making a reservation for a future passport appointment. 

Please note that we are unable to send in passport renewals. If you need to renew a current or recently expired passport, we can only take your picture and attach it to your application. The U.S. Department of State has recently started allowing renewals online, including uploading your picture for your new passport. Click HERE to get started renewing online.

Applicants should complete the following New Passport Checklist. Missing information will result in a delay in your passport processing time.

☐ Complete DS-11 passport application. This form should be completed in black ink and have no white-out or scribbling. Do not sign the application until meeting with our passport services staff.

☐ Appear in person. All ages. No exceptions for children.

☐ Present proof of U.S. Citizenship (original birth certificate, U.S. Passport or original naturalization certificate).

☐ Present valid Missouri State Driver License or valid government ID.

☐ Provide one passport photo. Passport photo services are available at Library passport acceptance locations for a $15 fee.

☐ Pay two separate fees - one to the U.S. Dept. of State and one to the Library. If paying by check, two checks are required.

☐ Pay the required fees to the U.S. Dept. of State (check or money order only). Families may write one check or money order to the U.S. Department of State for their passport application fees if they are applying in person at the same time. For all other applicants, separate checks must be made for each application.
