City Of Centennial Passport Services

Absolutely, for applicants under age 16, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person at the City Of Centennial facility to apply for the child’s passport. Each parent should bring a valid, government-issued identification document. Additionally, you will need to provide proof of the child’s U.S. citizenship, such as an original birth certificate, and proof of your parental relationship to the child. If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) along with a copy of their valid ID (front and back). The passport acceptance agents at the Centennial location are very experienced in these requirements and will guide you through the process to ensure all federal guidelines are met.

The fees for a new U.S. passport at the City Of Centennial are divided into two parts. The passport application fee itself, payable to the U.S. Department of State, is currently $130 for an adult passport book. For a minor (under 16), it’s $100. This must be paid by check or money order only. Additionally, there is a separate $35 execution fee, which is payable to the City of Centennial. This execution fee can typically be paid by cash, check, or credit card at the facility’s payment counter. If you opt for the passport card, the State Department fee is $30 for adults and $15 for minors, plus the $35 execution fee. Expedited service also carries additional fees. Centennial staff will provide a detailed breakdown during your appointment.

Your passport photo must be a recent, color photo, 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. It’s crucial that your head is between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm and 35 mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The photo must be taken in front of a plain white or off-white background. No hats, uniforms, or glasses are permitted, and you should maintain a neutral facial expression or a natural, slight smile, with both eyes open. The City Of Centennial understands the specificity required for these photos, and to help ensure compliance, they offer on-site photo services for a nominal fee of $15. This can save you a trip to a separate photo studio and ensures your photo meets all federal requirements directly at the application point.

This lot provides approximately 85 clearly marked spaces, including several ADA-compliant spots situated closest to the north-side main entrance. For optimal parking, especially during peak midday hours (11:00 AM to 2:00 PM), arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment is advisable to secure a spot directly outside the building.
