Whether helping U.S. citizens maintain their passports, screening documents to ensure accuracy, or providing exceptional customer service, a career as a Passport Specialist with the U.S. Department of State means you can make a difference.    

In this position, you’ll review applications for U.S. passports to determine if applicants sufficiently establish U.S. citizenship, identity, and entitlement.  You will help travelers get the documentation they need to visit the farthest reaches of the world.  And through your work, you’ll make contributions that are significant to overall national security, citizenship, and border security.    

Key requirements include U.S. citizenship, a minimum of an undergraduate degree (a master’s is preferred), and the ability to learn complex regulations and standard operating procedures and apply them to different situations.  Exceptional attention to detail, a keen sense of judgment, and the capacity to make sound decisions are critical to success.

In return for your service, you will have access to continued training and career development programs, a student loan repayment program, health and medical coverage, and federal retirement benefits.
