City Of Woodhaven Passport Services

When applying for a new passport book at the City Of Woodhaven facility, the primary cost is the application fee paid directly to the U.S. Department of State. For adults, this is currently $130, payable by check or money order. Additionally, there is a separate $35 execution fee, paid directly to the City of Woodhaven, which can often be paid by credit card, cash, or check. If you opt for a passport card, the State Department fee is $30, plus the $35 execution fee. Expedited processing, which can significantly shorten waiting times, costs an additional $60 per application to the State Department. Any mailing services, such as overnight delivery for your application or return delivery, also incur extra charges, typically ranging from $19.53 to $28.75, depending on the service selected. Be sure to confirm the exact payment methods accepted for both fees with the Woodhaven staff during your appointment.

Yes, for any child under 16 applying for a passport at the City Of Woodhaven facility, both parents or legal guardians are generally required to appear in person and provide their consent. This crucial measure is in place to prevent international parental child abduction. Both parents must present valid government-issued identification, such as a driver’s license, alongside the child’s original birth certificate or previous passport, and a completed Form DS-11. The Woodhaven staff will carefully review all documents to ensure compliance with federal regulations. If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) along with a copy of the front and back of their ID. Specific situations, such as sole custody, require additional legal documentation.

The City Of Woodhaven’s passport acceptance facility, located within the City Clerk’s Office, generally operates during standard municipal business hours. You can typically visit for passport services between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday. It’s important to note that the last appointment for passport applications is often scheduled at 4:00 PM to ensure sufficient time for processing before closing. We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment in advance by calling the City Clerk’s office at (734) 675-4900 to guarantee service and minimize any potential waiting. Walk-ins are accommodated only if there is available staff and an open slot, which is rarely the case, especially during peak seasons like spring break preparation. Always confirm hours and holiday closures before your visit to 21869 West Road to avoid inconvenience.

Second, you’ll need valid photo identification, such as a Michigan state-issued driver’s license or state ID card. Remember, this ID must not be expired. Third, a completed but unsigned Form DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport, which you will sign in front of the acceptance agent. Finally, two identical, recent 2×2 inch color passport photos that meet federal guidelines are essential, as the Woodhaven facility does not offer on-site photo services. Having all these items ready will expedite your application significantly.
