Due to public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Connecticut Passport Agency is closed to the public until further notice.
If you are traveling internationally and have a qualified life-or-death emergency in 72 hours or less, please call the National Passport Information Center to make an appointment at a passport agency in another city. You can call us at 1-877-487-2778 (1-888-874-7793TDD/TTY) on Monday- Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm Eastern Time, except federal holidays. Call 202-647-4000 outside of these hours to make an appointment.

If you are thinking about applying for or renewing a U.S. passport now for international travel, please read the Department of State's current international travel advisory. Because of public health measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, we have extremely limited U.S. passport operations.
If you apply or renew now, you will experience significant delays of several months to receive your U.S. passport and the return of your citizenship evidence documents (such as birth certificates or naturalization certificates). Unless you have a life-or-death emergency, please wait until we resume normal operations to apply for or renew your passport.

Alternate parking is available at the STC located one-half mile from the passport agency at 30 South State Street (at Washington Blvd).
