All passport applications in non-emergency cases must be submitted by appointment only.  Appointments are available Mondays and Wednesdays, between 1:30 and 3:00 p.m. and can be made online at the Embassy’s ACS Online Appointment System.  Follow the directions outlined on the Department of State website and submit all forms in person.

Adult passport renewals can be submitted by someone acting on the applicant’s behalf with a signed letter of authorization from the applicant and a completed, signed application form.
