Planning to travel out of the United States during spring break or this summer? You can apply for your passports at five Birmingham Public Library locations: the Central Library downtown and four regional libraries—Avondale, Five Points West, North Birmingham, and Springville Road. Read more about BPL’s passport services here. 

BPL became an official Passport Acceptance Facility last September after several employees underwent months of Passport Acceptance Agent Training. The service is available by appointment only. For details on forms and documentation needed click here. 

You must supply your own photo except at the Central Library, where passport photos may be purchased for $15.  Please note that there are special requirements for minors under age 16, minors age 16 and 17, and no-fee passports when submitting Form DS-11.
