If only one parent can appear, additional documentation is required. We also need a recent passport photo for each child.

At the Oelwein Public Library, the application fee (payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’) must be by personal check or money order only; cash and credit cards are not accepted for this portion.

While the Oelwein Public Library processes your application for mailing, the U.S. Department of State determines processing times. Currently, standard processing can take several weeks, so we advise checking their official website for the most up-to-date estimates. Expedited service is available for an additional fee and significantly shortens the waiting period, but it’s still best to apply well in advance of the Dairy Days festival.
