Passports

In July of 2001 Bloomingdale Township became a Passport Acceptance Agent. While the Township does not issue passports it can accept applications and administer oaths.

Applications are accepted by appointment only. Days for which appointments can be made are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Applications are available at the Township offices or may be downloaded by visiting the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs website at www.travel.state.gov

What you will need to acquire a new passport is as follows:
1) Original certified copy of your birth certificate with raised seal or original naturalization papers. No copies can be accepted. These original documents must accompany your application and will be returned to you by the State Department.
2) Valid personal identification such as a driver license.
3) Your social security number.
4) A completed and unsigned application. All applications must be signed in the presence of an authorized passport agent.
5) Minimum of two passport size photographs. Size should be 2” X 2”.
6) Children under the age of 18 have additional requirements. Please contact our office at 630-529-7715 for further details.

If you want to renew a passport you may be able to do so yourself provided you could answer yes to all of the following questions.
1) You possess and can submit your most recent passport.
2) Your current passport was issued less than 15 years ago.
3) You were at least 16 years of age when your most recent passport was issued.
4) You are using the same name as your most recent passport or have a marriage license or court order that you can submit as proper documentation to reflect the name change.
5) If your answer is no to any of the above questions than you would have to apply for a new passport and would be required to follow those requirements.

The cost for new passport is as follows:
1) $67.00 check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State.
2) $30.00 cash or money order payable to Bloomingdale Township.

Renewals if done by the applicant only require the payment of $67.00 to the U.S. Department of State.

Passports take up to four to six weeks before you receive them and are valid for 10 years. If you require them sooner you may do so by calling the Chicago Passport Agency at 877-487-2778 for details.
