Zebulon Post Office to hold Passport Fair April 19

Zebulon, NC — The Zebulon Post Office will hold a Passport Fair on Saturday, April 19, 2008 from 10 am – 1 pm at its lobby, 139 E. Vance Street. Applicants are encouraged in advance to print an application online at www.usps.com/passport, and have it completed prior to going to the Post Office.

As of February 1, most passports for adults 16 years of age and older will now cost $100, including acceptance fees, while passports for children 15 years of age and younger cost $85. Both parents must sign; please go online for specific instructions on this issue. Photos are required and are available to be taken at the Post Office for an additional cost.

 To help the passport application process run smoothly and efficiently, the Postal Service recommends the following:

• Bring in proper proof of American citizenship. This must be either: a certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state; a previous U.S. passport; a certificate of citizenship; or a naturalization certificate. (Please note: a hospital-issued birth certificate alone is not acceptable.)
  
• Bring in proof of identity.  This must be either: a previous U.S. passport; a naturalization certificate; a certificate of citizenship; a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID.
  
• The passport application requires two identical color photographs of you, which are available at the Post Office for $15.
