Determine whether you need a brand new passport or a renewal. Military personnel stationed at Submarine Base New London have unique processing requirements we’ll help you navigate. Review your current documentation, check expiration dates, and prepare necessary supporting materials.

Collect all required documentation with the same attention to detail used in submarine navigation. This includes birth certificates, government-issued photo ID, and proof of citizenship. Local Electric Boat employees often find our document checklists particularly helpful for streamlining their international travel preparations.

Capture your passport photo with the precision of a submarine periscope. We recommend local photography studios near the base that understand military and civilian passport photo requirements. Ensure your photo meets strict federal guidelines, maintaining the crisp, professional standards of our naval community.

Fill out your passport application with submarine-like accuracy. We offer on-site assistance to prevent common errors. Local residents can utilize nearby Thames River Community Center for additional support and quiet workspace if needed. Double-check every field before submission.

Present your carefully assembled documentation at our processing center. We understand the tight schedules of military personnel and local professionals, so we’ve designed an efficient submission process. Our staff is trained to handle applications with the same care used in submarine equipment management.

Pay required fees and confirm processing timelines. We offer expedited options for those with urgent international travel needs, particularly beneficial for Navy personnel with rapid deployment schedules. Our transparent fee structure ensures no unexpected financial surprises during your passport journey.
