Applying for a passport can be a challenging and stressful experience. To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, plan and apply early. If you have any issues or questions regarding passport services, contact my office for assistance.

Please note, processing times begin the day Passport Services receives the application at a passport agency or center, not the day the application is mailed or submitted. 

To check the status of your passport application, please visit: passportstatus.state.gov with the following information: Last name on application, Date of birth, Social Security Number (Last Four Digits).
