Local overview
Getting a passport in Fort Wayne
Fort Wayne is roughly the same distance from two agencies: Detroit's, about 140 miles northeast, and Chicago's, about 140 miles west. Each books appointments only for international travel within 14 days or a foreign visa needed within 28. For a routine first passport, the Fort Wayne Post Office at 1501 S Clinton St schedules passport appointments, and the Hazelwood post office on Hazelwood Ave and the New Haven post office on Broadway St do as well. For local births, the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health's vital records office in Citizens Square, on E Berry St, issues Allen County births to walk-ins. Births elsewhere in Indiana come from that county or the state. No Indiana agency is planned so far, so an urgent trip from Fort Wayne means an appointment in Michigan or Illinois.
