Story County offers extra day of passport applications

Alex Hanson

The Story County Recorder’s Office will allow people to apply for passports during the weekend outside of normal business hours.

Because of holiday and Spring Break international travel, Story County is offering passport applications this Saturday for people who cannot apply during normal weekday business hours.

People can apply in the Oak Room of the Memorial Union beginning at 8 a.m. Applications will be accepted from all applicants who arrive by noon. 

The event is open to everyone with no appointment necessary.

Anyone planning to apply must appear in person, including children. Applicants under the age of 16 must be accompanied by both parents.

Applicants must provide a passport photo, proof of citizenship and a copy of the front and back of their driver’s license because on-site photography and copier services will not be available for the event. 

Parents applying with children will each be required to provide a copy of photo identification for each child applying.

Passport applications will be available the day of the event or can be completed, but not signed, in advance of the event.

Payment for the passport must be by check or money order.

The $25 application fee can be check, money order or cash. 

The office requests that applicants bring exact change if possible because of limited money on-hand. No debit or credit cards will be accepted for any payments.
