EVANSVILLE, INDIANA — The Evansville Post Office is making it easy for those on campus at the University of Evansville to apply for a passport.  The university will host a Passport Fair on Tuesday, October 30, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Harlaxton Room at the Schroeder School of Business.  The address is 1800 Lincoln Avenue, Evansville, IN 47714.

No appointments are needed and the general public is invited to attend.  Fairs serve customers on a first come, first served basis.  (There is a limited capacity for acceptance.) 

“We are excited to partner with the University of Evansville to provide this service to our customers,” said Evansville Postmaster Steven Risewick.  “We anticipate this to be our most successful Passport Fair thus far.”

Customers have the option of applying for a passport book (good for all international travel) or the passport card (good only for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda).
