Passport Application Delays

Updated: January 26, 2009

Federal regulations require U.S. citizens to have a valid passport for travel to Canada, Mexico, Jamaica and other Caribbean countries, as well as other foreign countries. Nationwide there are 8,000 locations where a passport application can be submitted. However, all applications are processed at one of 13 passport agencies. Most Oklahomans’ passports are processed at the facility in Houston. If you are experiencing delays with your passport my office is available to assist you.
