CHINO, CA — The U. S. Postal Service (USPS) is joining the U.S. Department of State in observing Passport Day in the USA 2010, a national passport acceptance and outreach event. USPS will be hosting Passport Fairs at select San Bernardino County Post Offices on Saturday, March 27, 2010, to provide passport information to U.S. citizens, and to accept passport applications and take passport photos.
U.S. citizens must present a valid passport book when entering or re-entering the United States by air. U.S. citizens entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land borders and sea ports of entry must present a passport book, passport card, or other travel documents approved by the U.S. government.
Information on the cost and how to apply for a U.S. passport is available at travel.state.gov. U.S. citizens may obtain passport information in English and Spanish by phone, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 1-877-487-2778. Passport Information is also available at usps.com/passport.
The Department of State has proposed new fees for the U.S. Passport Book, U.S. Passport Card and other services, although at this time no date has been determined for implementation of a fee increase. Plan ahead and get your travel documents now!

A self-supporting government enterprise, the U.S. Postal Service is the only delivery service that reaches every address in the nation, 150 million residences, businesses and Post Office Boxes. The Postal Service receives no direct support from taxpayers. With 36,000 retail locations and the most frequently visited website in the federal government, the Postal Service relies on the sale of postage, products and services to pay for operating expenses. Named the Most Trusted Government Agency five consecutive years and the sixth Most Trusted Business in the nation by the Ponemon Institute, the Postal Service has annual revenue of more than $68 billion and delivers nearly half the world’s mail. If it were a private sector company, the U.S. Postal Service would rank 28th in the 2009 Fortune 500.
