How do I get a passport?

All US citizens must have a passport to travel internationally.  The US Department of State is the US government agency that issues passports for US citizens. Visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html/ and follow the instructions to apply for your passport book (not card).

Processing times vary but are usually around 12 – 18 weeks. You will need to prove your US citizenship, submit an application, prove your identity with a government-issued ID and pay a fee for your passport. Your passport will be valid for 10 years.

If you are a student in the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences, have applied for a study abroad program and are getting a passport for the first time, you are eligible for a scholarship that will reimburse you for the cost of your passport. Students who have had a minor passport (under the age of 18) are not eligible for a passport reimbursement. Bring your new passport to 0018 Curtiss to claim your scholarship.
