Getting a passport in Minnesota
Minnesota has a State Department passport agency in Minneapolis, and acceptance facilities in post offices and county offices around the state. Most Minnesotans apply for a first passport at one of those facilities. If you travel soon, you can book an agency appointment or use a registered courier such as Allstate Passports & Visas. This page covers 28 Minnesota cities, explains each option, and shows how to get a Minnesota birth certificate from almost any county office.
Acceptance facilities in Minnesota
Acceptance facilities handle first-time passports, passports for children and replacements for lost or stolen passports. Many county offices and post offices in Minnesota take passport appointments. Choose your city above to see the facilities nearby.
Bring Form DS-11 unsigned until the agent asks, proof of U.S. citizenship such as a certified birth certificate, a photo ID with a photocopy, and one passport photo. You pay the application fee to the U.S. Department of State and an execution fee to the facility.
The Minneapolis Passport Agency
The Minneapolis Passport Agency is the State Department's office for Minnesota. It sees applicants by appointment only, and only if they travel internationally within 14 days or need a foreign visa within 28 days. From Moorhead or Hibbing it is a drive of several hours, so book early. Bring proof of travel. How to book an agency appointment.
Birth certificates in Minnesota
Minnesota makes this convenient: any county vital records office in the state can issue a certified birth certificate for anyone born in Minnesota from 1935 on, and many issue it over the counter while you wait. Births before 1935 are held by the county where the birth took place. The Minnesota Department of Health, Office of Vital Records, also issues certificates. A certified copy costs $26, and extra copies of the same record cost $19.
To get a certified copy you must have what Minnesota law calls a tangible interest, for example being the person named, a parent, a spouse or another close relative, or a legal representative. Mail requests need a notarized signature. Minnesota no longer issues long-form birth certificates. The state's birth certificate request form lists everyone who qualifies.
