You will need to pay an additional fee directly to the Department of State for this service, which is currently $60.00 per application.

Applying for a minor’s passport at the Horsham Post Office follows specific, strict guidelines to ensure the child’s safety and proper identification. For applicants under 16, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the child. They need to present proof of their relationship to the child (such as a birth certificate or adoption decree) and valid government-issued identification for themselves. If one parent is unavailable, the applying parent must provide a notarized consent form (DS-3053) from the absent parent, along with a copy of their ID. The child’s previous passport or original birth certificate proving U.S. citizenship is also required. Horsham Post Office staff are well-versed in these requirements and can provide guidance during your appointment.

Absolutely, having both parents attend the passport application appointment for a minor at the Horsham Post Office is the ideal scenario and simplifies the process significantly. When both parents are present, they can collectively sign the DS-11 application form in front of the acceptance agent. Each parent must bring their valid government-issued photo identification, such as a driver’s license, along with a photocopy of both the front and back of each ID. This joint appearance eliminates the need for a notarized consent form from an absent parent, making the submission smoother. It’s recommended to schedule your appointment during a time that accommodates both parents’ schedules.

Passport photos submitted with your application at the Horsham Post Office must adhere to strict U.S. Department of State specifications. The photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size, printed on glossy or matte photo quality paper, and taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Your head should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm and 35 mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The background must be plain white or off-white, with no shadows. Many applicants find it convenient that the Horsham Post Office offers on-site passport photo services, ensuring compliance with these precise requirements for an additional fee of $15.00.

Parking for the Horsham Post Office at 575 Horsham Road is exceptionally convenient due to its location within the Horsham Square Shopping Center. Visitors have access to a large, free, shared surface parking lot directly in front of the Post Office unit (D38). This expansive lot offers over 200 designated spaces, with ample parking available even during peak business hours. The most convenient spots for passport applicants are typically found immediately adjacent to the building’s entrance, requiring a walk of less than 50 feet. There are several clearly marked accessible parking spaces located closest to the entrance for individuals with disabilities. To ensure the quickest access for your appointment, plan to arrive via Horsham Road, then turn directly into the Horsham Square Shopping Center entrance. Follow the internal drive to the left, and the Post Office will be on your immediate right. During the summer months, direct sun exposure in the lot can make car interiors quite warm, so consider arriving a few minutes early to allow for a cooler vehicle or a shaded spot further out. In winter, while the lot is regularly plowed, icy patches can form, especially in the early morning or after precipitation, so exercise caution when walking from your vehicle to the entrance. Securing a spot is rarely an issue, offering a stress-free start to your passport application process.
