PHOENIX, AZ – Need a passport or passport card? A Passport Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., on Saturday, November 3, at offices throughout Arizona.
These Passport Fairs will offer customers one-stop shopping for passports, passport photos and passport cards. No appointment is needed; customers will be assisted on a first-come, first-served basis.

For persons under 16, the cost is $115, with separate payments of $80 and $35 respectively.
The cost of passport cards for adults (16 years and older) is $65: $35 in a separate payment to the U.S. Postal Service for the processing fee; and a $30 separate payment to the State Department for the passport application fee. The passport card cost for those under 16 is $50: $35 in a separate payment to the U.S. Postal Service for its processing fee; and a $15 separate payment to the State Department for the passport application fee.

To make the process as quick as possible, applicants are strongly encouraged to print and complete their applications ahead of time by going online at travel.state.gov. Use only black ink and do not sign the application form, as the passport acceptance clerk must witness the signing. Customers may also obtain a form at any passport office.
In most cases, passport renewals do not require an in-person application process; full information is available at travel.state.gov.
Customers can go to usps.com/passport 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.
The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations
