Milanof – Schock Library Passport Services

Yes, Milanof – Schock Library provides convenient on-site passport photo services for your application.

This service incurs an additional fee of $15, which can be paid directly to the library. We ensure the photo meets all U.S. Department of State requirements, including proper lighting, background, and head size. Opting for our photo service streamlines your entire application process, ensuring all components are handled efficiently in one location at 1184 Anderson Ferry Road. It’s an excellent way to save time and ensure compliance before submitting your documents.

Yes, securing an appointment is absolutely mandatory for all passport application services at Milanof – Schock Library. To ensure each applicant receives personalized attention and sufficient time for their submission, the library operates strictly by appointment. We do not accommodate walk-in passport services. You can easily schedule your time slot by visiting the library’s official website or by calling our circulation desk at 717-653-1510 during our regular business hours. Appointments can be booked for specific passport service times, typically Tuesday through Saturday. Planning ahead and reserving your spot guarantees that a trained passport acceptance agent will be available to meticulously review your documents and assist you through the process without delay.

The total cost for a passport application at Milanof – Schock Library involves two distinct payments. First, there’s the application fee, which is remitted directly to the U.S. Department of State. For a standard passport book, this is typically $130 for adults (16 and older) and $100 for minors (under 16). If you also opt for a passport card, it’s an additional $30 for adults and $15 for minors. This payment to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ must be in the form of a personal check or money order; cash or credit cards are not accepted for this portion. Second, the Milanof – Schock Library charges a $35 execution fee for processing your application. This fee can be paid separately via cash, credit/debit card, or a check made payable to ‘Milanof – Schock Library.’ If you utilize our on-site photo service, that’s an additional $15 paid to the library. Always refer to the official Department of State website for the most current fee schedule before your visit to 1184 Anderson Ferry Road.

The Milanof – Schock Library, as a U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility, primarily handles new passport applications (DS-11 forms) and applications for minors. Most adult passport renewals (DS-82 forms) are typically completed by mail, directly to the National Passport Processing Center, without the need for an acceptance agent. You can renew by mail if your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years, and you can provide it with your renewal application. However, if your previous passport was issued when you were under 16, was lost/stolen, or is significantly damaged, you must apply in person using the DS-11 form, and our acceptance agents at Milanof – Schock Library can certainly assist you with that process. They will guide you through the requirements for applying as if it were a first-time passport. It is always best to confirm your specific renewal eligibility beforehand.

Yes, Milanof – Schock Library does accept credit and debit cards for specific fees associated with your passport application. The library’s $35 execution fee, as well as the $15 fee for on-site passport photo services, can be conveniently paid using a major credit or debit card, or with cash or a check made out to the library. However, it is crucial to remember that the main passport application fee, which is submitted to the U.S. Department of State, must be paid by personal check or money order only. Federal regulations prohibit acceptance facilities from collecting credit card payments for the Department of State fee. Therefore, when you visit our facility at 1184 Anderson Ferry Road, plan to bring two separate forms of payment: a check or money order for the federal fee, and a credit card, debit card, cash, or a separate check for the library’s administrative services.

Parking at Milanof – Schock Library for your passport appointment is exceptionally convenient, with several dedicated options directly on-site and nearby. The most immediate solution is the main asphalt parking lot situated directly to the west of the library building, accessible via a clearly marked entrance from Anderson Ferry Road. This lot provides a generous 47 free spaces, including several ADA-compliant spots, making it highly probable you will find a spot regardless of your appointment time. For those rare occasions when the main lot is full, an overflow parking area is available at the Mount Joy Sports Complex, located approximately 0.3 miles south on Anderson Ferry Road. This larger lot, offering an additional 150 free spaces, is rarely at full capacity and provides a safe, short walk back to the library. Street parking along Anderson Ferry Road itself is generally discouraged due to traffic flow and limited availability, making the dedicated lots the superior choice. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment, especially during peak afternoon hours, to ensure ample time for parking and a leisurely walk to the entrance. During hot summer months, consider parking further from the building to allow your vehicle to cool down in any available shade, or be prepared for a warm walk across the lot. In winter, the library staff diligently plows and salts the main lot, but exercise caution for potential icy patches.
