 Passport
Services
The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of
2004 requires travelers have passports to countries that
didn’t require them before.
As of February 1, 2008, the U.S. Dept. of State changed the
fees, forms, and requirements and approved issuance of a new
Passport Card.
In the fiscal year 2006, the U.S. Department of State
issued a record 12,133,537 U.S. passports. Bloomfield Township
processed 1,283 passport applications in 2007, compared to
1,047 in 2006. The Township first began offering passport
service on August 15, 2005.
Passport fees are the same in each community. However,
photo fees, which vary, are only $10.00 per set in Bloomfield
Township. Photo fees are payable by cash or check to
Bloomfield Township. For persons 16 years old and older, there
is a $75 fee payable by check only to the U.S. Department of
State and a $25.00 execution fee payable by cash or check to
Bloomfield Township. Passport fees for children 15 years old
and under include a $60 fee payable by check only to the U.S.
Department of State and a $25.00 execution fee payable by cash
or check to Bloomfield Township. Passport card fees are $20
for an adult 16 years old and older and $10 for 15 years old
and under, in addition to a $25 execution fee payable to
Bloomfield Township. The requirements and validity for a
Passport Card are the same as for a U.S. Passport. For more
information, see Requirements.

every age.
