By United States regulation, only federal, state, or local government officials may serve as passport acceptance agents. Acceptance agents receive applications from the public and review them to ensure all necessary information and citizenship evidence is included. Agents administer the required oath and witness the applicants' signatures, then forward the applications to the Passport Services Agency (U.S. Dept. of State) for issuance. Acceptance facilities also provide the public with general information on passport procedures and serve as a liaison between applicants and Passport Services Agencies.
The City of Renton is not the United States Department of State and has no say on the layout of forms, regulations or the official passport website.
The actual decision to issue or deny a passport book and or card is made only by a US Department of State Passport Agency, not the City of Renton. To check on the status of a submitted passport, call 1-877-487-2778, or go to passport status.
