📖 About this office
The Arnold Branch of Jefferson County Library sits on Missouri State Road and doubles as one of the more approachable spots in Jefferson County to submit a passport application. Public libraries offer a lower-pressure environment than a busy post office, and the Arnold Branch has trained acceptance agents on staff who guide applicants through the DS-11 process step by step.
Jefferson County Library participates in the State Department's passport acceptance program, meaning staff are authorized federal acceptance agents. All applications must be submitted by appointment; call the branch directly or check the library's website to schedule. The library does not offer passport photo services on site, so plan to have your photo taken beforehand — many pharmacies and retail stores within Arnold provide this service.
The Arnold Branch serves residents across the southern Jefferson County area, including Seckman, Mehlville, and Imperial. First-time applicants, families applying for a child's first passport, and anyone requiring an in-person oath will find the library's unhurried pace and knowledgeable staff a good fit.
💡 Good to know
Call the Arnold Branch at (636) 296-5171 to confirm appointment availability before visiting — passport slots fill quickly, especially ahead of summer travel season. Bring a completed but unsigned DS-11, original proof of citizenship (birth certificate), a valid photo ID, and a passport-compliant photo.
