In the interest of providing good customer service to all, failure to bring:
with you to your appointment may necessitate you make another appointment and return for that appointment at a later date. Thank you for your understanding and assistance with this request.
Required documentation can be found below and on state.gov (varies by applicant’s age, passport application used, and disposition of previous passport).
Age Progression Photos: If the identity of the applicant cannot be established by the photograph in the U.S. passport, pictures that show the progressive growth of the applicant should be submitted at the time of interview. Failure to comply with this requisite may delay in the passport application process.
Any foreign language document must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
Passports generally take about three weeks to arrive. You will be notified by email when your new passport arrives. Bring your old passport with you to pick up the new passport (unless the old passport is expired), so that we can cancel the old passport.

3rd Party Attendance at Passport & CRBA Appointments
Generally, immediate family members may accompany passport or CRBA applicants to their appointment interviews at a U.S. embassy or consulate, and all minor children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Passport or CRBA applicants also have the option of being accompanied by an attorney at their appointment interview.
Current regulations reflect the long standing policy of the Department of State that no person should be in possession of more than one valid, or potentially valid, passport at any one time unless under circumstances specifically authorized by the Secretary of State.
Passport Applications for Minors must be signed in front of a Consular Officer at the Embassy. To visit the Embassy, one must make an appointment. The American Citizen Services Unit requests that you schedule one appointment for each person that needs a service.
The renewal-by-mail program is open and operational. The passport printing facilities in the U.S. have resumed operations and passports are processing without delays. We strongly recommend you use the renewal-by-mail option if you are eligible.
