Important Due to Covid-19, processing times for passports are taking longer than normal for both standard and expedited services.

Akron Passport - Where to Apply for a Passport in Akron, OH.

Akron passport facilities can be found in only a few places in the city. A few other options available to residents of Akron who want to apply for a passport are passport offices in neighboring cities, a regional agency and private expediting services. Below is a list of locations where you can submit a passport application if you live in Akron, Ohio. Note that many passport offices have limited operating hours and some require an appointment so be sure to call before you make the trip.

New passport application Form DS-11 can be submitted at a nearby passport application acceptance facility so that an agent can witness the signing of the form, administer an oath and seal the form and supporting documents in an envelope. You can apply for other passport services such as a renewal, name change, error corrections, etc. by mail. For a list of acceptance facilities in cities other than Akron, visit the Ohio passport office page.

For emergency expediting services, visit Rush My Passport - Online Passport Service.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Mailing delays are impacting passport processing. The Department of State's processing times begin when applications are received at a passport agency or center and not when you mail them or apply at a local acceptance facility. Standard service may take between 8 and 11 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 5 to 7 weeks exluding mailing times on the front and back end. Mailing delays may be significant so requesting 1-2-day mailing may greatly help.

Regional passport agencies are offering extremely limited in-person services if you need to travel internationally in the next 5 business days. Those with qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized.

Life-or-death emergencies are serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family (parent, legal guardian, child, spouse, sibling, and grandparent) that require you to travel outside the United States within 5 business days.

If you need to travel due to a qualified life-or-death emergency, please call the National Passport Information Center for an appointment:

Mondays through Fridays 8 AM to 5PM, call ET 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY:1-888-874-7793) Outside of these hours, 202-647-4000

You can schedule your appointment up to 2 weeks before your international travel but the date of your appointment must be within 5 business days of your international travel. If you need a foreign visa, the date of your appointment must be within 10 business days of your international travel.
