Are you a first-time applicant or renewing an existing passport? First-time adult applicants need to apply in person at an authorized passport acceptance facility. If you’re renewing and meet specific requirements (like having your previous passport in good condition), you might qualify for a mail-in renewal. For Haliimaile residents, the nearest facilities are typically in Kahului or Wailuku.

Collect proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization document), a valid government-issued photo ID, and a passport photo taken within the last six months. Pro tip for Haliimaile locals: Many local pharmacies and print shops offer passport photo services, saving you a trip to larger towns.

Fill out Form DS-11 for new passports or DS-82 for renewals. Be sure to use black ink and print clearly. Double-check all information to avoid delays. For those working in Haliimaile’s agricultural or tourism sectors, accuracy is key when traveling internationally.

Prepare to pay application and execution fees. For adults, this typically means $130 for the application plus a $35 execution fee. Bring a check or money order, as many passport facilities don’t accept cash. Some local credit unions in Maui County offer convenient payment options.

Visit an authorized passport acceptance location in person. For Haliimaile residents, this usually means traveling to Kahului or Wailuku. Bring all original documents, don’t sign the application until instructed, and be prepared to take an oath confirming the truthfulness of your application.

After submission, you can track your passport online using the provided application number. Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks, while expedited service runs 3-5 weeks. For urgent travel needs, same-day to 2-week processing is available at additional cost.
