Making plans to travel abroad this summer? Stop into Main Library's passport acceptance facility to start the process of getting your passport. Free photos for any passports accepted on this day.

Visit our passport acceptance facility on the first floor to start your passport application process. No appointments, all walk-ins.

Prepare for the passport application process by visiting Travel.State.Gov to learn about the required documents and forms of payment needed for a successful passport application. This includes:

  • A completed, unsigned passport application (also known as Form DS-11)
  • Proof of U.S. Citizenship (most common proof is original or certified copy of birth certificate)
  • Proof of Identity (most common proof is a driver's license or state ID)
  • A check or money order to pay for passport fees
  • Cash, check, or money order — separate from passport fees — to pay for the $35.00 execution fee
  • A passport photo

Do you want a passport but are unavailable on April 8? Good news — passport services are available at Main Library every day of the week! Give us a call and we can schedule an appointment for a date and time that works for you.

Contact us at esdiv@akronlibrary.org or 330.643.9145 with additional questions or for more information.

UPDATE:

This event is about guiding passport applicants through the first step in the passport application process — submitting required paperwork correctly and accurately, verifying nationality, and confirming identity. All paperwork and payments collected on April 8 will be sent to the Department of State to complete the final steps of the passport application process, which takes an additional 7-13 weeks. Those attending Passport Day at Main Library on April 8 will not receive their actual passport that day.
