The Eldersburg Branch and North Carroll Branch are accepting passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State to better serve our customers and to respond to the needs within our communities. Below is the detailed information that you need to know when applying for a passport.
The Carroll County Public library does not accept or process passport renewal applications (form DS-82). Persons eligible to use this form should mail it to the National Passport Processing center as instructed on the form. Forms are available at the Eldersburg Branch and North Carroll Branch.
If you are planning to travel within two weeks, you must apply for a passport in person at a U.S. Passport Agency or center. Expedite fees apply. Those closest to Carroll County are located in Washington, DC and Philadelphia, PA. You must make an appointment in advance by calling 877.487.2778. Passport processing time may vary depending on the season. Visit https://travel.state.gov/ for actual processing time.
Please review the information at the following sites before traveling abroad. Also, please note that passport processing by the U.S. Department of State may take longer than normal at this time.
CCPL fees may be paid with cash, credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover), money order or check in the exact amount made payable to Carroll County Public library.
Amounts vary depending on the product you need. See the chart below. U.S. Department of State passport fees are payable by check or money order ONLY. A separate check, payable to the U.S. Department of State, is required for each application.
