Wright Memorial Public Library Passport Services

At Wright Memorial Public Library, you can submit your passport renewal application if you meet specific requirements. You are eligible to renew your passport via mail if your previous passport was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years, and is undamaged. If you don’t meet these criteria, you must apply in person using Form DS-11, which you can do right here at the Wright Memorial Public Library with a scheduled appointment. Library staff can assist you in determining the correct form and provide guidance on the application process. Residents of Oakwood find this convenient since the process can be started and completed locally, eliminating the need to travel outside of the community.

The cost of a passport varies depending on your age and the type of passport you need. For adults applying for a new passport, the application fee is $130, and there is an additional $35 execution fee paid directly to the Wright Memorial Public Library. For children under 16, the application fee is also $130, but the execution fee remains $35. Passport renewals, if eligible to be done by mail, only require the $130 application fee. If you opt for expedited processing, there’s an extra $60 fee. Note that these fees are set by the U.S. Department of State and are subject to change, so it’s always wise to confirm the latest costs on the State Department’s website or by contacting the library directly at 937-294-7171.

Unfortunately, Wright Memorial Public Library does not offer passport photo services on-site. However, there are several convenient options nearby. You can visit CVS or Walgreens, both located within a short drive on Far Hills Avenue, which offer passport photo services for around $15. Alternatively, many local photography studios in the Dayton area also provide passport photos. When getting your photo taken, remember to wear appropriate attire (no uniforms or clothing that resembles a uniform) and remove any glasses or head coverings unless required for religious or medical reasons. Be sure to review the State Department’s guidelines for passport photos to ensure your photo meets all the requirements and avoids processing delays. Having a compliant photo is essential for a smooth passport application process.

At Wright Memorial Public Library, you have a few options when it comes to payment. The $130 application fee must be paid by check or money order made payable to the U.S. Department of State. For the $35 execution fee charged by the library, they accept cash, checks, or money orders. Credit and debit card payments are typically not accepted for the execution fee. It’s always a good idea to call ahead and confirm their current payment policies, as they can be subject to change. Make sure to bring the correct payment methods to avoid any delays during your passport application appointment. Being prepared with the right forms of payment ensures a smoother and more efficient experience at the Wright Memorial Public Library.

Parking at the Wright Memorial Public Library is generally straightforward. The library provides a dedicated 65-space parking lot directly adjacent to the building, accessible from both Far Hills Avenue and Shafor Boulevard. Parking is free of charge, a significant advantage compared to metered street parking in downtown Dayton. However, during peak hours, especially on weekends and during library events, the lot can fill up quickly. If the library’s lot is full, there is additional street parking available on Shafor Boulevard and Runnymede Road, though be mindful of residential parking restrictions on Runnymede. During the winter months, be aware that the parking lot and sidewalks can become icy; the library staff does their best to maintain clear pathways, but caution is advised. In the summer, the asphalt can get quite hot, so consider parking in shaded areas if available. For those with accessibility needs, designated accessible parking spaces are located near the library’s main entrance. If you anticipate difficulty finding parking, arriving 15-20 minutes before your scheduled appointment is recommended. Alternative public parking can be found in Oakwood’s town center, near the intersection of Far Hills and Oakwood Avenue, about 3 blocks from the library. Although most of the streets near the library are free parking, be mindful of any signage indicating any restrictions that are posted.
