Local overview
Getting a passport in Caldwell
Caldwell is far from every passport agency. The Seattle Passport Agency is about 390 miles away and San Francisco's about 505, and both see only travelers leaving within 14 days or needing a visa within 28. A Salt Lake City agency is planned and should be much closer for southern Idaho once it opens. For a routine first passport, the Canyon County Clerk at 111 N 11th Ave, Suite 330, accepts applications by appointment, and the Nampa City Clerk at City Hall on 3rd St S does too. Birth certificates take planning in Idaho. The state Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics in Boise has no public counter, so certificates are ordered by mail or online through VitalChek and take several weeks to arrive. Order early if a first passport is coming up.
