Passports

Effective February 1, 2008

When applying for a passport you now have the choice of applying for a Passport Book or a Passport Card or both. The Passport Card is not for Air Travel. It’s valid for land and sea crossings between the US and Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and the Caribbean only. Although you are now able to apply for the new Passport Card, the cards will not be available until spring 2008 (no date has been issued at this time). There are new applications available in our office or at: http://travel.state.gov.

The previous passport applications are no longer accepted. New applications are also available if you qualify to renew a passport by mail.
