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.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Mailing delays are impacting passport processing. The Department of State's processing times begin when applications are received and not when you mail them. Standard service may take up to 18 weeks from the day the application is submitted to the day the passport arrives at your door. This timeframe includes up to 12 weeks of processing and up to 6 weeks for mailing.

Expedited service may take up to 12 weeks -- 6 weeks processing and an additional 6 weeks mailing on the front and back end. 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 72 hours. Those with qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized.

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