Getting a passport in Alexandria
Virginia has no passport agency of its own, but Alexandria is close to one: the Washington Passport Agency is about 7 miles away, by appointment for international travel within 14 days or a foreign visa needed within 28. Philadelphia's agency is about 135 miles northeast. For a routine first passport, the Alexandria Library takes applications by appointment at its Beatley Central Library on Duke St and its Barrett Branch on Queen St. Nearby post offices in Arlington, Falls Church and Annandale schedule passport appointments as well, and the Southwest Post Office on L St SW in Washington, DC and the Oxon Hill, Maryland post office are also within 15 miles. In Virginia, every DMV customer service center sells certified copies of Virginia births, so the Tysons Corner and Lorton DMV offices can both supply one. Our pages for Arlington, Fairfax and Merrifield cover nearby communities.
