Get a New Passport

Passport Service InformationESPANOL

Tolleson Public Library is proud to provide passport services to the community. We only process new applications, long-time (more than 15 years) expired applications and youth applications. We do not process passport renewals. For renewal information, please visit the U.S Department of State website at https://travel.state.gov. It is required that you please bring all older passport(s) to your appointment.

We highly encourage appointments for our passport services. Walk-ins are accepted when space allows, but are never guaranteed. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate walk-ins that require hand-carry delivery for their passport at this time. Hand carry passports must have an appointment. Please read all of our Passport Rules and Passport Requirements before booking an appointment. Rules not followed or requirements not met may result in a cancellation of your appointment.

You can get a new passport if you respond "Yes" to at least one of the following statements:

  • I am applying for my first U.S. passport book or card.*
  • I am applying with my child who is under age 16.
  • My most recent U.S. passport was issued when I was under age 16. (It is required that you please bring all older passport(s) to your appointment.)
  • My most recent U.S. passport was lost, stolen, or damaged.
  • My most recent U.S. passport was issued more than 15 years ago. (It is required that you please bring all older passport(s) to your appointment.)

If you could not respond "Yes" to at least one statement, go to the U.S. Department of State's Renew Online page or  Renew by Mail page.
