Your Travel Adventure Begins at the Library!

If you’re planning international travel, you can apply for a U.S. Passport at the Camdenton and Osage Beach Library branches.

Please use only forms obtained from https://travel.state.gov or printed by library staff.

While there are fees associated with processing your passport application, you should never pay for the form itself; third-party sites that charge for any passport application forms are scams.

These library branches offer passport services for NEW applicants. To renew your passport, please fill out and mail in form DS-82; an agent is available to review for accuracy. The Library does not process passport renewal applications. Passport photos can be obtained from Walmart, Walgreens, or CVS.

The passport acceptance process must be completed by the stated end times below. The process takes approximately 30 minutes per application, so please plan accordingly.
