The Embassy provides a wide range of passport services to Americans in Korea. Many of these services are available now without the need to come to the Embassy.

Passport application forms can be downloaded, or can be obtained at the Embassy. Please note that these standard forms contain instructions for applying at a passport agency in the U.S. For complete instructions on applying for a passport at the U.S. Embassy Seoul, refer instead to the information below.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

The U.S. Department of State now issues the latest, state-of-the-art passport, incorporating a photo-digized image and other enhanced security features, to to all American citizen applicants throughout the world.

All U.S. passport applications submitted at U.S. embassies and consulates are sent to the U.S. for processing. Processing takes two to three weeks for passport applications submitted in Seoul. American citizens in the Republic of Korea should seek early renewal of expiring passports. Many countries, including Korea, require passports to be valid for at least six months for exit and entry.

The staff of the American Citizen Services Branch at the Embassy in Seoul may issue limited validity passports to facilitate genuine emergency travel. Such emergency passports cannot be extended. Bearers must exchange the limited validity emergency passport for a photo-digitzed passport upon completion of emergency travel, either at U.S. Department of State passport facilities in the U.S. or at U.S. embassies and consulates abroad.
