Busy and quiet times
- Quietest: mid-morning and mid-afternoon, Tuesday to Thursday — and scheduler slots released for those windows go last.
- Busiest: Mondays, lunchtime, Saturdays, and January through summer as travel season peaks.
- Rule of thumb: passport windows close intake before posted closing when the day's capacity fills — earlier in your visit beats later.
What to bring: the 60-second checklist
- Form DS-11 filled out but unsigned — you sign in front of the acceptance agent.
- Citizenship evidence (birth certificate or old passport) + a photocopy on plain paper.
- Photo ID (driver's license) + photocopy.
- One 2x2 photo — or have it taken here on-site.
- Two payments: application fee by check or money order to "U.S. Department of State", and the $35 execution fee to the facility. Full fee table.
