To apply for a passport be sure to bring the following items:

  • Passport Application (available at the event)
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship
  • Proof of identity
  • Two identical color passport photos (we will provide photo services)
  • Passport fees (check or money order for payment)

If you need your passport sooner, you can request expedited processing with Express Mail service for an additional fee.
