Help with Passports

The State Department has warned of a significant passport backlog leading to long wait times for some travelers. 

Our office encourages you to apply for or renew your passport as soon as possible before your travel date. You can apply for or renew your passport here.

Constituents can also contact our office for assistance in applying for or renewing your passport. 

Please include all pertinent information and claim numbers in your correspondence—such as:

• Locator ID (nine digit number associated with your passport application)
• Date of International Travel
• Your Social Security number
• Your address, home phone number and daytime phone number (if different than home) so that we can obtain any additional information from you that might be necessary;
• Copies of any related documents or correspondence that you may have from the agency involved;

Please Note:

The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a) requires that Members of Congress or their staff have written authorization before they can obtain information about an individual's case.
We must have your signature to proceed with this type of request.
