Passport Services

Passports, other than limited validity emergency passports, are no longer issued overseas. We issue Consular Reports of Birth for children of American citizens born in Burkina Faso (click here for the form to be filled out). We can also add additional pages to passports and amend them if necessary.

As of February 1, 2008 passport fees will increase. Please find below the new fee schedule:

• The Passport Surchage Fee increases from $12.0 to $20.00.
• The Passport Execution Fee decreases from $30.00 to $25.00.
  There is new Passport Card Fee: $20.00 for adults and 10.00$ for children.
• Adults or children over the age of 16 passport renewal fee remains the same: $55.00.
• Children’s passport (0-16 years) fee also remains the same: $40.
• Adults who are applying for the first time, or cannot provide their previous passport also pay the $25 execution fee.

In order to obtain a replacement passport the followings are needed:

• Proof of U.S. citizenship (i.e. a previous passport, birth certificate, naturalization papers, etc).
• Two 2”x2” (5cmx5cm) photos.
• The application form completely filled out.
• The fees.

Passport issuance to minor under the age of 16 now requires the personal appearance of the child before the Consular Officer. Both parents are also requested to appear in person. However in case only one parent is applying, the non-applying parent will need to fill out DS 3053 (Statement of Consent) sign and have it notorized. The Consular Officer can notorize this document free of charge for American citizens.

Passport issuance is centralized in the States and applications are transmitted electronically to Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
