New passport agency coming to Kansas City

Kansas City has been named one of six locations for a new U.S. passport agency. 

The news comes following a request from Congressman Emanuel Cleaver to select the city following ongoing processing delays. 

Language in this year’s defense bill would provide improved in-person and emergency passport services to residents living in a significant population center more than a five-hour drive from an established agency. 

Passport centers are responsible for processing applications and serving customers by appointment who have urgent travel within 14 days or need a foreign visa in the next 28 days.
