Use the right Santa Clarita library appointment
Santa Clarita Public Library offers passport acceptance appointments at its Canyon Country Jo Anne Darcy, Old Town Newhall and Valencia branches. Its passport page distinguishes in-person acceptance from eligible adult renewals, which applicants handle through the government’s mail or online routes. A place on an appointment calendar does not determine which application form you qualify to use.
The library’s booking guidance also accounts for the number of applicants. When several relatives are applying, reserve the service needed for the whole party and prepare separate files. Our private review and photo services are at the Los Angeles office; a library booking and an appointment with us are separate arrangements.

Build one complete file for each family member
Start with each person’s age and previous passport. A parent who qualifies for adult renewal may use a different process from a child under 16, whose next passport requires a new in-person application. A teenager aged 16 or 17 has separate identity and parental-awareness requirements. Do not put everyone on the same form because the travel dates match.
For an under-16 applicant, organize citizenship evidence, proof of the parental relationship, parent or guardian identification and any consent documents needed when someone cannot attend. A previous passport may establish citizenship without proving the parental relationship. Check both requirements before treating the old book as the entire evidence file.
Then connect the names across the documents. If a parent’s current identification and the child’s birth record use different surnames, have the relevant legal name-change evidence available for review. Explain custody or attendance constraints before booking the acceptance appointment. Preparation should resolve what is needed, rather than leave a parent to discover a missing document at the counter.

Questions from Santa Clarita travelers
Can the whole family renew with DS-82?
No. Eligibility is individual. In particular, a child under 16 cannot use adult mail renewal; the child must apply in person for the next passport. Review the adult and teen cases separately.
Is an appointment at your office also a library appointment?
No. Our private preparation takes place at 8170 Beverly Boulevard, Suite 101, Los Angeles. Book any required library or other authorized acceptance appointment separately, with the right number of applicants.
What if one parent cannot attend the child’s appointment?
Tell us before arranging the visit. Additional consent or legal-authority documents may be required. Follow the State Department instructions for the actual family circumstances; private service does not remove those requirements.
