SAN BERNARDINO, CA — The U.S. Postal Service’s San Bernardino Processing and Distribution Center is hosting a Passport Fair from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, Sept. 27, 2014 to provide passport information to U.S. citizens and to accept passport applications.
Families and individuals will be able to apply for passports on a walk-in basis without taking time off from work, school or other weekday activities. No appointments are necessary.
To obtain a passport for the first time, applicants need proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license. A certified copy of a birth certificate (not a California abstract or photocopy) or naturalization certificate is the best proof of citizenship.
One photograph is required, and can be taken at the passport event. The fee for a Passport Book for first-time adult participants is $110.00 and $30.00 for a Passport Card. The fee for minors under the age of 16 is $80.00 for a Passport Book and $15.00 for a Passport Card. There is also a $25.00 processing fee per application. Parents applying for Passport Books/Cards for children under the age of 16 must both be present along with the child. An expedited service fee of $60.00, plus Priority Express Mail postage, will reduce processing time to less than three weeks (normally it is 4-6 weeks). Passport photos are $15.00. Payment is accepted in the form of cash, check or money orders only.
