City of Federal Way (City Hall)

The City of Federal Way operates its own passport acceptance desk inside the civic complex at 33325 8th Avenue South, a convenient stop for anyone already visiting City Hall in the heart of downtown. Trained municipal clerks accept new applications, verify your identity and supporting documents, and route everything to the State Department on your behalf.

This office handles DS-11 forms only, which covers adults applying for the first time, teens ages 16 to 17, children under 16, and replacements for lost or stolen books. Service is strictly by appointment, walk-ins are turned away, and arriving more than five minutes late means the slot is cancelled, so plan to have your forms filled out before you arrive. The Federal Way overview lists the city's other acceptance choices if City Hall is fully booked.

Because this desk sits inside the government complex, transit riders can reach it easily from the Federal Way Transit Center a short walk east. Complete and print your DS-11 before the appointment and bring original citizenship evidence plus a photocopy of your ID.
