We want you to join our network of acceptance facilities! Each facility provides an important public service, and an easy way to submit passport applications in local communities. 

What is a Passport Acceptance Facility?

An acceptance facility is a government office that accepts passport applications. Each facility verifies the information of adults and children using Form DS-11. You then send applications and supporting documents to us for processing.

• Get support and training from the U.S. Department of State on how to accept applications
