Southeastern Community College Passport Services

Yes, appointments are absolutely required for all minor passport applications at Southeastern Community College. For applicants under 16, both parents or legal guardians must appear with the minor. If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) along with a copy of their valid identification. Be sure to bring the minor’s original birth certificate, previous passport (if applicable), and current photo identification for both parents. The college staff on Chadbourn Highway are adept at guiding families through these specific requirements to ensure a smooth application process for your child’s first or renewed passport.

Southeastern Community College’s passport acceptance facility operates strictly by appointment to ensure efficient service and minimal wait times for all applicants. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated due to the structured scheduling of dedicated staff and resources within the A.D. Guy Administrative Services Building. To secure your slot, it’s essential to schedule your visit in advance, either by calling the college’s administrative line or checking for available times on their official passport services webpage. This policy allows the Whiteville facility to provide personalized attention and process applications thoroughly without unexpected interruptions, ensuring a professional and timely experience for every scheduled applicant.

The total cost for a passport application at Southeastern Community College in Whiteville involves two separate payments. For a new adult passport book, the federal application fee is currently $130, payable by check or money order directly to the ‘U.S. Department of State.’ There’s also a separate $35 execution fee, payable to ‘Southeastern Community College,’ which can be paid via credit/debit card, check, or money order. If you opt for a passport card, the federal fee is $30. Expedited processing, if needed, incurs an additional $60 federal fee. For the most precise and up-to-date fee structure, especially for minors or special services, it’s always best to verify amounts on the U.S. Department of State website or by contacting the SCC passport office directly prior to your Chadbourn Highway visit.

Yes, an appointment is unequivocally required to submit your passport application at Southeastern Community College. This facility, located in the A.D. Guy Administrative Services Building on Chadbourn Highway, prioritizes scheduled visits to deliver focused and efficient service to each applicant. The college’s dedicated passport acceptance agents allocate specific time slots, typically 18-22 minutes per applicant, to meticulously review documents and ensure all federal guidelines are met. Attempting to walk in without a pre-scheduled time will result in being asked to make an appointment. We strongly recommend booking your slot online or by phone well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons, to guarantee your service.

If you require your passport urgently, Southeastern Community College offers expedited processing services for an additional $60 federal fee. This significantly shortens the processing time compared to routine applications. Beyond this, for truly immediate travel needs (within 2-3 weeks), you would typically need to contact the National Passport Information Center directly or make an appointment at a regional passport agency, often requiring travel to cities like Atlanta or Washington D.C. While SCC can expedite the initial submission from Whiteville, the rapid delivery ultimately relies on the State Department’s processing pipeline and optional overnight shipping fees that you can select during your application. Always factor in shipping times when planning urgent travel.

Parking at Southeastern Community College for your passport appointment is straightforward and entirely complimentary. The most convenient option is Lot B, a large, well-maintained asphalt lot situated directly east of the A.D. Guy Administrative Services Building. This lot offers approximately 85 designated spaces, with several clearly marked accessible parking spots nearest the building’s eastern entrance (Entry 3A). You’ll find this lot easily accessible directly off the main campus loop road, which connects to Chadbourn Highway. From Chadbourn Highway, turn onto the college’s main entrance, follow signage for “Administrative Services,” and Lot B will be on your immediate left. The walk from Lot B to the passport facility is less than 75 yards, taking approximately 1-2 minutes on paved pathways. For those visiting during peak college hours, typically between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, Lot C, located a short 0.2-mile walk north of the Administrative Services building, offers an additional 60 spaces, although it may add an extra 3-4 minutes to your walk. There are no hourly parking fees or paid garages on the SCC campus. During summer months (June-August), the asphalt lots can become quite hot, so consider arriving a few minutes early to find a shaded spot if available. In winter, while ice is rare, be mindful of potential wet spots on pathways during colder mornings. The best strategy is to aim for Lot B; it’s designed for quick access to administrative functions.

No, passport renewals cannot be done at acceptance facilities. Renewals must be mailed directly to the State Department using Form DS-82, or you can use our expedited renewal service.
