Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment for a passport in Louisville?
It depends on the facility. USPS locations in Louisville use the online scheduler at usps.com, while libraries and clerk offices set their own rules — some take walk-ins. Each listing above shows the facility's phone and scheduling link so you can confirm in one call.
How much will it cost?
A first-time adult passport book is $165 total ($130 application fee + $35 execution fee paid at the facility in Louisville). Children under 16 pay $135. Expedited processing adds $60. Renewals by mail or online are $130 with no facility visit needed.
Can I get my passport the same day in Louisville?
Acceptance facilities cannot issue passports — they forward your application. For genuinely urgent travel (within 14 days), you need an appointment at a regional passport agency, booked through 1-877-487-2778. See our expedited guide for the fastest legitimate routes.
