- You write one check for the full amount and bring it to be sent together with your application. Make sure you have the right total amount (I think there's a calculator on the DoS website), depending on whether you want just a passport book or also a card. If the county clerk's office charges a processing fee like the post office does, you'll pay that separately.
- Bring everything the DoS asks for, including copy of your driver's license.
The DoS didn't actually cash my check, they used the account and routing # to take an ACH payment from my account. So I'm not sure why they don't allow online payments yet, but whatever. My husband just renewed his passport, and apparently they just started an all online renewal process they're beta-testing. I wouldn't want to be a beta-tester for any official paperwork, lol!
