- Non-PA residents: Messiah ID + a photocopy of their ID

- $35 cash or check written to the Prothonotary's Office
- If passport photos needed: $10 cash or check written to Messiah University
*Please note: the current processing time is 4-6 weeks
Can I renew my passport at this event?
No, this event is for new passport applications only. The representatives are happy to review information and assemble the application, however, the US Department of State only allows acceptance facilities to mail out application that have been completed by an agent at that particular facility. Here is a link to easily renew your passport via mail: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew.html
My passport has been expired for awhile. How do I know if I have to renew it or apply for a new passport?
If your passports expired within the last 5 years, and they were 10 year passports originally, they can renew.
Can I bring my children to this event?
Yes, we would love for your children to come and apply for a passport! However, children's applications look a little different. Your children must fill out and bring these forms to apply for a new passport. Here is the link:
- Children under 16: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/under-16.html (Both parents must be present when applying.)
- Children 16-17: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/need-passport/16-17.html
My name has changed recently and I need to update my passport.
