the identity of the applicant.
Acceptance agents are at designated Post Offices and Court
Houses.
Applicant must indicate that he/she is using a hand carry service
to process their new passport application. Acceptance Agent will
have the applicant sign the new passport application, seal documents
in an envelope and return the sealed envelope.

passport photographs for new passports. These may be obtained

passport applications by a new passport Acceptance Agent.
Both new passport fees must be paid to Acceptance Agent onsite.
The new passport fee of $135 may be paid by check, cash, money
order or debit card (credit cards are not accepted). If paying
by check, starter checks are not acceptable. Indicate the
applicants DOB in the memo line. For new passport applications,
an Acceptance Agent fee of $25 will apply. This fee may be
paid via any payment method.
