PETALUMA, CA — To help globe trekkers prepare for their future travel plans, the North Bay Processing and Distribution Center at 1150 N McDowell Blvd, Petaluma, CA  94999, is hosting a Passport Fair on Saturday, March 5, 2016, from 09:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Postal Service clerks will be on hand to provide passport information and to accept passport applications, with no appointments necessary.

Application forms, information on the costs and how to apply for a passport book and/or passport card can be found at usps.com/passportor travel.state.gov/passport. U.S. citizens also may obtain passport information by phone, in English and Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll-free at 1-(877) 487-2778.

Once customers have a passport, they'll need a safe way to carry it – USPS Passport Wallets. These fashionable wallets, available in black or brown leather, allow important items, like a passport, cash, an ID, and up to seven credit cards, to be carried in one holder. The wallets are available at passport acceptance offices and at usps.com/shop.
