Residents of Maui County looking to apply for a new U.S. passport will need to adjust to a new appointment-only system following staff training at the Department of Human Concerns Immigration Services Division office. Noted in an announcement from the County of Maui, the office located in Wailuku will be closed on Tuesday, Sept. 3, resuming operations the next day with a shift to scheduled services for passport applicants.
The change aims to streamline the application process and is set to begin on Wednesday, Sept. 4, after a one-day closure for staff training. To apply for a new passport, U.S. citizens will now have to make an appointment, a new measure implemented by the County of Maui's Immigration Services Division to better manage the flow of applicants. Interested individuals are encouraged to call the office at (808) 270-7791 to secure their spot.
During this transition, passport seekers are reminded to come prepared. According to the County of Maui's announcement, each applicant must bring a completed passport application, proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid government ID, and a passport photo to their appointment. It is important to note that the new appointment policy is strictly for new U.S. passport applications.
The Immigration Services Division office is situated on the fifth floor at One Main Plaza, 2200 Main St., Suite 547, in Wailuku, and operates from 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. For further details on preparing for a passport application, applicants can visit the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs at their official website.
