U.S. Passports

The American Citizen Services (ACS) Unit provides a wide range of passport services to Americans in Korea. The U.S. Department of State now issues the latest, state-of-the-art passport, incorporating a photo-digitized image, a microchip embedded in the cover, and other enhanced security features, to all American citizen applicants throughout the world.

All U.S. passport applications submitted at the U.S. embassies and consulates are sent to the United States for processing. Upon receipt of a completed application, processing generally takes two weeks for passport applications submitted in Seoul. American citizens in the Republic of Korea should seek early renewal of expiring passports. Please keep in mind that many countries require passports to be valid for at least six months beyond the travel dates.

The links in the passport categories below will take you to the Department of State Passport Wizard. The Passport Wizard will walk you through the process of filling out any passport service form electronically and put the information into a barcode that we can upload instantly when you come in to apply for your passport. After filling out your application online, print and bring your application with you to the Embassy with an appointment or if applicable, send it via one of the courier services. Applications filled out by hand will not be accepted.
