Local overview
Getting a passport in Virginia Beach
Virginia Beach is a long way from any State Department agency: Washington's is about 160 miles off and Philadelphia's about 230, and both limit appointments to departures within 14 days or visas needed within 28. A first passport is usually simpler to handle locally. The City Clerk at City Hall, 2401 Courthouse Dr, Suite 2116, accepts applications by appointment on weekdays from 8:30 AM to 3 PM. The Acredale Post Office at 1225 Kempsville Rd keeps long passport hours, from 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM on weekdays and until 2:30 PM on Saturdays. Birth certificates are unusually easy in Virginia: every DMV customer service center sells certified copies of Virginia births, including the Virginia Beach DMV at 3551 Buckner Blvd. Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Hampton, elsewhere in Hampton Roads, have their own pages.
