DePaul Study Abroad can help advise you on how to apply for your first U.S. passport. See the information on this page and come into the office, Lincoln Park SAC 460 if you would like a Peer Advisor to check your documents before your appointment.
Yes! You can apply for a study abroad program before you have a passport. Once you are accepted to a program, you need to apply for a passport right away in order to receive it in time to travel. See a list of programs currently accepting applications.
At a post office. Schedule an appointment using this link and bring all your documents printed to that appointment.
Your passport will be delivered to you by mail. See current processing times to understand how long it will take. Your documents, e.g. birth certificate, will be returned to you in a separate mailing.
$165 total. $130 for the application fee to the U.S. Department of State and $35 for the processing fee to the U.S. Postal Service.
Not now. DePaul has funded student passports through external grants awarded to Study Abroad. Those grant funds have already been distributed, but Study Abroad can help check your documents.
See instructions on this U.S. Department of State website. Come into the Study Abroad office if you would like help. Note: If your current passport was issued to you as a child (age 16 or younger), follow the process above for a first-time (adult) passport.
