How to Obtain A Passport

Posted by Jenna Rogers and Lindsay Sparks on February 06, 2008


To get a passport, you must have the following:

    Two identical 2x2-inch color photos, which can be taken at locations such as Jones Photo Lab, CVS, or Walgreens.

    Proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a certified birth certificate or naturalization certificate.

    Proof of identity, such as a current driver's license.

Adults 16 and over can purchase a passport for $100 (this includes the processing fee). For children 15 and under, the cost is $75.

Passport paperwork can be filed at the U.S. Passport Agency in downtown Tucson.
