NOVATO, CA —To help customers who otherwise cannot schedule an appointment for passport service, three north bay Post Offices will accept walk-ins for passport applications on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 at the following times and locations:

Application forms and costs can be found at usps.com/passport or travel.state.gov/passport. Customers can also obtain passport information by phone, in English and Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll-free at (877) 487-2778.

To apply for a passport, applicants need a valid form of photo identification and proof of citizenship.

Proof of identification — You may submit items such as the following containing your signature and a photograph that is a good likeness of you: Current or previous U.S. passport, naturalization certificate, certificate of citizenship or a current and valid driver’s license, government ID or military ID.

**A photocopy of the identification - front and back – must be submitted with your passport application. Many post offices do provide photocopy service for an added fee. 

Proof of citizenship includes any one of the following:

1. Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county, or state
2. Naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship, and
3. An expired passport

The customer must submit a photocopy of the front and back of the Proof of Citizenship document.

The USPS has introduced the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler™ (RCAS™) on http://www.usps.com/scheduler for appointment-only Post Offices.
And no passport is complete without a USPS Passport Wallet. They are fashionable wallets, available in black or brown leather, that are designed to hold a passport, cash, ID, and credit cards. The wallets are available at passport acceptance offices and at usps.com/shop.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
