Laurel MD Municipal Center — Local services in Laurel

When two working parents cannot jointly visit the passport office to request a passport for their minor child, the passport office requires one parent to get a notarized consent form authorizing the other parent to go by themself to submit the application. This passport office refuses to accept a legally notarized consent form (notarized by a serving United States Army Major), unless accompanied with a photocopy of the military ID that was used to verify the identity of the other parent (military veteran). They refuse to accept that making copies of United States military identification cards is illegal under Title 18, U.S. Code Part I, Chapter 33, Section 701, and is punishable by fine and imprisonment. Their excuse is that everyone does it and you must also. Shows how ignorant these people are with zero knowledge, professionalism, courtesy, or respect of other people's time. Add to it their insistence that people break the law. They live in their own gilded cages, secure in the knowledge that bureaucratic red tape will prevent any action against them. Shame on them and shame on the Passport office at the Laurel MD Municipal Center. Enjoy your one star without which this review could...

If you need to submit a passport application, do it here because...
