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.

UPDATE: Mailing delays and high demand 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 10 and 13 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 7 to 9 weeks excluding mailing times on the front and back end. Current mailing delays are significant. Requesting 1-2-day mailing service is recommended.

Regional passport agencies are offering two types of appointments: Life-of-Death Emergency Service and Urgent Travel Service.

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 3 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.

For Urgent Travel Service, you need to call 14 days before your scheduled international travel or 28 days if you also need to secure a foreign visa.

If you need to travel urgently for reasons other than a life-or-death emergency, please call the NPIC.

A registered expedited passport courier can often assist in obtaining a passport as quickly as the same day. You can learn more about this service here.
