The Library and bookdrops at 110 W. Maple Street are closed as we move to 411 S. Main. For updates on our move and Grand Opening, visit our Big Move webpage.
Please note: Passport Service has been suspended until we open at our new location. Thanks for your patience!
If you already have a passport, be sure to see how much longer it’s valid. Your passport is valid for 10 years, but remember that your children's passports are only valid for 5 years. Many countries require that your passport have 6 months of validity on it when you enter the country.
If you are applying for the first time or are under 16 years old, you must appear in person at a passport acceptance facility like Helen Plum Library.
For application forms, information on documentation required, fees, and a wealth of other passport and international travel information, visit the only official website for passport information travel.state.gov. Also feel free to contact the Patron Services Desk at (630) 627-0316.
Currently the Library does not offer passport photos as a service, but there are multiple places locally where passport photos can be obtained.
