Applying for a passport is becoming more and more common. For example, US citizens traveling to Canada and Mexico are now required to have passports. Additionally, having this travel document is a great source of secondary identification and takes the place of a birth certificate in many cases as proof of ID.

A great deal of the passport information you are looking for will be available online. You can find this information on the U.S. State Department's travel and passport page or on our page regarding passports for cruise ship jobs.

If you cannot apply for a passport online, you may need to apply or visit a regional office in person. Below you will find a list of all the agencies organized by region. If for some reason you cannot find an agency in your area, please check the full passport agency list provided by the US State Department.
