Beyond your original proof of U.S. citizenship (like a certified birth certificate or previous passport) and a compliant passport photo, remember to bring a valid government-issued ID, such as your Iowa driver’s license. If applying for a minor, both parents must be present with their IDs and the child’s birth certificate, or one parent with proper consent forms and the absent parent’s ID copy.

For the passport application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State, you must bring a personal check or money order. The separate $35 execution fee, which is paid directly to the Scott County Recorder, can be paid by cash, credit/debit card, or check. Please ensure you have two separate payments ready for your convenience.

Once your application is accepted at the Scott County Recorder’s office, we will mail it to the National Passport Processing Center the same business day. The total processing time then depends on the U.S. Department of State’s current published processing times, which you can monitor on their official website (travel.state.gov). You will receive an acknowledgment from the State Department, and your new passport will be mailed directly to you.
