Logan Post Office to Hold Passport Fair on Utah State Campus

The Logan Post Office will hold a Passport Fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 22, inside the International Lounge on the second floor of the Taggart Student Center at Utah State University.

The Passport Fair will offer customers one-stop shopping for passports, including photos. Postal employees will be available to assist customers in filling out application forms and answering questions.

“We enjoy coming to campus and helping the students and faculty with their passport needs,” said Logan Postmaster Brandon Roundy, who reminds passport applicants to bring the required documentation.

What is needed for a passport:

Bring in proper proof of U.S. citizenship or naturalization. This must be either: a state-issued certified birth certificate, available by contacting the State Department of Health of your state of birth; a previous official passport; or a naturalization certificate, if you are foreign-born. (Please note: a hospital-issued birth certificate is not acceptable.)
Bring in one officially-acceptable state or government photo ID. This can be either a driver’s license, a military photo ID, or a state-issued photo ID. Workplace IDs and regular photos are generally not acceptable.
The passport application requires two recent identical photographs, which the Post Office will take for a fee. The photos must meet specific passport requirements.
To save time, download passport application documents at USPS.com/passport and fill out beforehand. However, don’t sign the application form, as the passport acceptance clerk must witness the signing.

The cost for a passport is $97 for adults (16 years and older), with separate payments of $67 paid to the State Department for the passport application fee and $30 to the Postal Service for its processing fee. For persons under 16, the cost is $82, with separate payments of $52 and $30 respectively. Two identical photos of each applicant is required, which the Post Office can take for a fee of $15. Passport applicants are advised to apply for their passport at least two months prior to departure.

Customers can go to usps.com or call 1-800-ASK-USPS to get the location of passport Post Offices nearest them and their passport customer service hours. All applications are sent to the U.S. State Department for final processing and approval. Provided everything goes smoothly, you can have your official passport mailed back to you, with plenty of time to prepare for your trip.
