Many constituents travel outside of our nation each day and seek assistance from my office. Because travel plans may not be predictable, I am pleased to provide you with information that will help you.
In order to apply for a United States Passport, you must be a United States resident, either by birth or naturalization. In addition, you will need to obtain two passport-sized photos and take a photo identification card with you when you apply. To determine what is acceptable information to submit to the Department of State, please click here . If you are submitting a birth certificate as proof of citizenship, the document must be a certified copy and be issued by a state or county agency-not a hospital. If you need to obtain a copy of your birth certificate, contact the Department of Health in the county or State in which you were born.
