Passports

The Washington County Department of Assessment and Taxation serves as a Passport Acceptance Facility; however, we do not issue passports directly. Instead, completed applications, along with fees and all required documents, are sent to a U.S. Department of State Processing Facility for passport issuance. Please note that we cannot anticipate every unique situation, so it is your responsibility to gather the necessary information before applying.
