📖 About this office
The Akron-Summit County Public Library's Main Library at 60 S. High Street is the most centrally located passport acceptance facility in the city — steps from City Hall in the heart of downtown Akron. Its TechZone desk processes passport applications seven days a week, including Sunday afternoons, making it the only option in the city for weekend applicants who can't make a Saturday government-office slot.
Operated through the library's TechZone@Main service hub, this facility requires appointments and also provides passport photo services, so applicants can complete both steps in a single visit. The library accepts DS-11 applications for first-time passports and minors. Bring original proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid photo ID, a completed (unsigned) DS-11 form, and applicable State Department fees.
The library's downtown location puts it within easy walking distance of Akron's cultural core, and it serves the broader Akron community including students at the University of Akron just blocks north. Ohio residents looking for a full picture of their options statewide can browse the Ohio passport offices guide.
