While walk-ins are sometimes accommodated at the Crawford County Recorder in Denison, we highly recommend calling ahead to schedule an appointment. This ensures a dedicated time slot for your application and helps minimize your wait, especially during busier periods.

Even if you have your old passport, if it was issued before you turned 16, you might still need proof of U.S. citizenship (like your original birth certificate) and valid primary identification. Please bring your current driver’s license or state ID, and if your name has changed, certified legal documentation for that change.

For the *federal* passport fee, you must submit a check or money order payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’ for each application. However, the *local* $35 execution fee at the Crawford County Recorder in Denison can be paid separately by cash, local check, or money order.

Once your application is officially mailed from the Crawford County Recorder in Denison, the processing time is determined by the U.S. Department of State, not our local office. Routine processing currently takes several weeks, so always check the official State Department website for the most up-to-date estimates on delivery times.
