Acceptable payment methods for in-person passport appointments:

• Cash in U.S. dollars or the equivalent in Canadian dollars. You may pay Canadian cash ONLY if applying in person at the Embassy or a U.S. Consulate.
• Credit Card. Credit card payments require the cardholder to be physically present.
• Starting on April 15, 2024, applicants may pay for their passport applications (whether is it is a DS-11 minor application or DS-82 adult renewal) via Pay.Gov . Please note, however, that this only applies to passport books. You cannot use Pay.Gov to pay for passport cards.

Please note that personal checks or debit cards are not accepted.

If paying by credit card, the charge may appear to come from Charleston, South Carolina. This is normal, and the location of our financial facility.
