Why can’t I just send my new passport application without having to visit an acceptance agent?

Jan 29, 2026

All new passport applicants are required by the Passport Agency to have each person and their documents executed (verified, stamped and sealed) by an authorized passport acceptance Agency. As well as have the acceptance agent witness the signing of the government processing application. Acceptance Agents are normally located at most Post Offices, courthouses or other government buildings. We will locate a facility for you when you sign up which does not require an appointment.
