NEW UNITED STATES PASSPORT
A valid passport is now required for travel by air, anywhere outside the United States.
To obtain a new United States Passport, please follow these steps:
- Call 815-436-8308 to make an appointment. The Administration Building is located at 22525 W. Lockport Street, just west of I-55.
- Bring the following documentation:
- A certified copy of Birth Certificate or a Certificate of Naturalization for all applicants, including children. (Most certified birth certificates have a raised seal.) Birth certificate must have the full names of your parent(s). – There is a shortened version available that does not list the parents names and the Passport Agency no longer accepts that version.
- Your expired passport if you have one.
- A valid photo I.D. such as a driver’s license or state I. D.
- Bring one photograph, 2″ by 2″ in size. Photos must be a good recent likeness and must be clear, front view, full face with eyes visible and open. The background must be white or a light color.
- Bring two checks or money orders. Personal checks are accepted. One check will be made out to the US Department of State and one will be made out to Plainfield Township. For example, one application submitted for an adult with no expedited service would require a check for $130.00 made out to the US Department of State and a check for $35.00 made out to Plainfield Township. When multiple family members are applying at the same time, fees for all applications can be combined on the two checks.
- If possible, obtain form DS-11 by picking one up at the township offices, the Plainfield Post Office or by downloading a copy from travel.state.gov. and have this form filled out before arriving. Do not sign the form. The form can also be filled out completely at the time of execution.
