Getting a passport in Alaska
Alaska has no State Department passport agency, so an urgent appointment means flying to Seattle. That makes planning especially important here. Most Alaskans apply for a first passport at a post office or another acceptance facility, and travelers short on time often use a registered courier such as Allstate Passports & Visas instead of flying out. This page covers 3 Alaska communities, explains each option, and shows how to get an Alaska birth certificate in Anchorage or Juneau.
Acceptance facilities in Alaska
A first passport, a passport for a child or a replacement for one that was lost or stolen starts with an in-person application at an acceptance facility, usually a post office in Alaska. Appointments are common, and in smaller communities hours can be limited. The city pages above list the facilities near you.
Bring Form DS-11 unsigned, a certified birth certificate or other proof of citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and one passport photo. Two fees apply: the application fee to the U.S. Department of State and an execution fee to the facility.
The Seattle Passport Agency
The closest State Department agency for Alaska is the Seattle Passport Agency, a flight of roughly three and a half hours from Anchorage. It sees applicants by appointment only, and only if they travel internationally within 14 days or need a foreign visa within 28 days. If you book, plan the flight around the appointment time. How to book an agency appointment.
Birth certificates in Alaska
Alaska Health Analytics and Vital Records has birth records from 1908.
