How Do I Order Guam Passport? Get All the Details Here

Okay, so I needed to get my Guam passport sorted. I’m going to walk you through what I did, step by step, cause, man, it can be a bit confusing if you don’t know where to start. First thing I did was to check the processing time, turns out it’s about six weeks, but they made it clear that it’s not a sure thing. Then, the cost. It’s 85 bucks. This is for new applicants who are 16 or older, or if your last passport was issued before you turned 16, or if you can’t show your recent one, or if it’s damaged.

Documents are a big deal.

• I had to dig out my U.S. citizenship proof and make a photocopy of both sides of it.
• I learned that you can go to the Guam Passport Office from Monday to Friday, between 8 in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
• Just remember, they’re closed on holidays and weekends. If you need to, you can call them at (671) 635-8974 or shoot them an email.
• I found out they have a walk-in service at the passport division in Barrigada. Pretty convenient, right?

If you’re in a different city in Guam, you can look up the nearest passport office. At these places, you can apply for your passport and get all your documents sealed up. Now, here’s something interesting I found out: U.S. citizens don’t really need a passport to go to Guam, technically speaking. But you gotta have a REAL ID if you’re 18 or over and traveling within the country.

Specifics for Different Situations

• For those wanting to renew, or change their name, or get a passport card, there’s a center called American Passport Renewal Center in Guam. It’s super quick and handy.
• From what I gathered, after July 25, 2011, you gotta pay the passport fees in cash with the Treasurer of Guam. This is especially true for first-time adult applicants who are 16 and above.

So that’s the gist of it. Getting a Guam passport involves a few steps, but it’s all pretty straightforward once you get the hang of it. Just gather your documents, know the fees and times, and you’re good to go. It was a bit of a learning curve for me, but I managed, and I’m sure you will too. Hope this helps anyone out there looking to get their Guam passport.
