Colorado Passport Agency

COVID-19 Update: Phase Two of Reopening

As of Monday, August 24, this passport agency is entering phase two of our three-phase reopening plan. During phase two, most staff will return to the agency and we will be able to resume processing more of the applications we already received. Applications will be processed on a first in, first out basis, beginning with the oldest applications received.

While we will continue prioritizing customers who need a passport in the next 72 hours (3 business days) for a life-or-death emergency only, we will also offer more appointments for life-or-death emergencies. We will offer services at our agency by appointment only. Staff and customers should wear cloth face coverings in all common areas, including our lobbies, and continue to observe social distancing. During phase two, we recommend customers wait to submit new or renewal applications as delays will continue.

Learn more about our current operations and plans to reopen in phases on our COVID-19 Update page or our Frequently Asked Questions page.
