We are proud to inform you that Passport Direct is now accredited for New Applications online aside from Passport Renewals.

Because of the new policy of the DFA that requires personal appearance for those renewing to the new Machine-Readable Passports, there are some important changes you need to know.

  • Personal appearance is required for your thumbprints. However, as a Passport Direct customer, you are entitled to a priority lane that reduces the time spent at the DFA to around 30 minutes only.
  • There are revised requirements for the passport application. Please see our Requirements page for more details.

If you have any questions, you may call us anytime, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at 737-1000.
