Payment Methods
Two separate checks/money orders are required.
- One check/money order payable to the “U.S. Department of State” covers any Passport Book, Passport Card, Expedited Service, and 1-3 Day Return Delivery fees.
- One check/money order payable to the “University of Iowa Passport Office” covers the execution fee, optional Priority Mail Express (1-3 Day Delivery) to the processing center, and photos taken during your appointment.
Notes
- Money orders/cashier's checks are issued through banks, U.S. post offices, and many grocery stores.
- If more than one person is applying (e.g. a parent and their child), the U.S. Department of State requires a separate check for each applicant. The UI Passport Office allows multiple applicants to pay our execution fee with a single check or money order.
