Passport Application Process In Sacramento, California
Sacramento residents applying for a passport must follow a multi-step process. First, gather required documents: proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a certified birth certificate or previous passport), a valid photo ID, and a completed DS-11 form. Second, visit a passport acceptance facility in Sacramento — the Sacramento Main Post Office at 2000 Royal Oaks Drive accepts applications by appointment. Third, pay the fees: $130 for the passport book (plus a $35 execution fee for first-time applicants) as of 2024. Fourth, submit your application in person if you are a first-time applicant, a minor, or if your previous passport was issued more than 15 years ago. Processing times vary: routine service takes 10–13 weeks, expedited service (an extra $60) takes 7–9 weeks. Your passport serves as proof of identity and nationality while traveling abroad.
