Local questions from SUMTER residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

Yes, it is highly recommended and often required to schedule an appointment for passport acceptance services at the Sumter Post Office.

You can usually book an appointment online via the USPS Retail Customer Locator tool or by calling the Sumter Post Office directly during business hours.

Yes, for any passport application, you must bring a completed (but unsigned) DS-11 form, your original proof of U.S. citizenship, and valid photo identification.

The separate $35 acceptance facility fee, which goes to the Sumter Post Office, can be paid by check, money order, or credit/debit card.

Once your application is accepted at the Sumter Post Office, it is mailed to the National Passport Center for processing; the Sumter facility does not handle the actual production.

Passport acceptance hours at the Sumter Post Office are often more limited than general retail hours and usually require an appointment.
