U.S. passport applications are accepted at the library's Wausau Headquarters. Please call 715-261-7240 and ask to speak with a passport application acceptance agent before you apply. We also advise reviewing the U.S. Department of State passport website.

Appointments are available every Thursday, 3:00pm to 7:30pm, and every other Saturday, 9:00am to 3:20pm. Walk-ins are invited every Thursday, 9:00am to 2:30pm. MCPL takes passports photos for $10. Contact us for more information or alternative passport application sites.

Common application mistakes and pitfalls include:

• Not bringing an official birth certificate issued by the government, featuring a raised seal and signature. Hospital certificates and photocopies are not allowed.

• Forgetting to bring (enough) checks. The application fee must be paid by check.

• Making errors on the application. Cross-outs, white-out or errors of any kind are not allowed; only black ink is allowed, not blue or any other color.

• Applying on behalf of a minor without adequate documentation. Please always contact us and describe any special circumstances regarding custody, etc.
