To obtain a passport you must appear in person and bring the following documents with you:

• Proof of Citizenship - A certified U.S. birth certificate, original naturalization certificate, or a previous passport. - Note: If your birth certificate says "Birth Registration", "Abstract", or "Hospital Certificate" it is not acceptable. You need to obtain a certified copy of your birth certificate from the State or County office of your place of birth. This will have a raised, embossed, or colored seal on it.  A photocopy of the birth or naturalization certificate is not acceptable. You will receive your certified certificate back from the Department of State with the processing of your application.
• Photo Identification - Driver's license, State ID or military ID - Note: An interim driver's license is not acceptable.
• One (1) passport photo - 2" x 2" - Note: Photos can be obtained from several businesses including: Costco, FedEx, CVS, Target, Walgreens, WalMart
• Check or money order for $110.00 made payable to the Department of State - Note: The fee for a minor 15 years or under is $80.00. Cash or credit cards ARE NOT accepted for this fee.
• Separate payment by cash, check, credit card or money order for $25.00 (per application processed) made payable to the City of Roseville. (For expedited passports the additional $18.95 for postage raises this amount to 43.95).
• Minors - Special Conditions
  • One Parent - If the application is for a minor aged 16 through 17, one (1) parent is required by law to appear in person with the applicant and countersign the application.
  • Two Parents - If the application is for a minor under 16 years, both parents are required to accompany the child and countersign the application. - Note: If one parent is unable to accompany the child, a notarized signed affidavit and a photocopy of the driver's license by the absent parent must be provided. If a parent has sole custody, the original Court document showing this must be presented. If one parent is deceased, a certified copy of the death certificate must be provided.
  • Birth Certificate - A certified birth certificate must be submitted for all minors under 16 even if they have a previous passport.
• You must have your (or your child's) social security number on the application. The IRS imposes a penalty  if the social security number is not on the application. 
• Standard Processing Time - It takes approximately six  (6)  weeks to receive your passport.

Note: If you are leaving in less than six (6) weeks, we recommend that you expedite your passport.
