Applying for a Passport

Complete passport information and forms are available in Center Hall 112.  Generally, one applies for a passport at the local courthouse or post office.

First Time Applicants

Items Required:

1.  Passport book application (fill out on-line, print, do not sign).

2.   Birth Certificate     (usually available from the County Clerk where you were born).

3.  $75 Money Order (or check) made out to the US Department of State (available from a bank or many other sites) + $25 cash or check to the Montgomery County Clerk  ($100 total).

4.   Two pieces of photo ID.

5.   Two photographs - 2" x 2" in color, white background.

As soon as possible, students and other international travelers should apply for a passport.  This is true for many reasons, but primarily because it will cost less if one does not need to expedite the application, and because if a visa is required, the visa usually is placed inside the passport so you need the passport first.  Often, visa processing takes several weeks or months, often requiring personal visits to a distant consulate.  Parents can help by supplying to their student with an original birth certificate.

The Five (5) items listed above should be taken to the Clerk's Office, 2nd Floor in the Courthouse in Crawfordsville, or to any other courthouse or US Post Office that processes passports.  Do not sign the application until the person receiving the application tells you to sign.

It is possible to expedite passports by paying extra charges; same day is also available in certain centers in the USA; please see the State Department's web site. 

Renewals:

1.   Application Form and conditions  If your current passport meets these conditions, you may apply by mail (PLEASE USE TRACKABLE EXPRESS MAIL - FEDEX, DHL, US Postal Service).  Address supplied at the end of the form.  (Philadelphia Passport Agency)

2.   $75 money order or check to the US Department of State (no further cost).

3.    Two photographs (see specifications above).

4.   Current passport (it should be returned to you with new one).

QUESTIONS?   Call the Clerk's Office (765) 364-6430 x2   Crawfordsville, IN
