The U.S. Department of State has detailed guidelines for preparing your passport application and supporting documents. To save time, you may fill out and print a passport application online in advance of the event by visiting the U.S. State Department website http://travel.state.gov. Information about fees, photo requirements, additional passports, and travel destinations is also available here.

Please ensure that your application is completed in black ink and that you have the required U.S. citizenship documentation as well as identification and payment when you arrive for the fair. Fees payable to the Department of State must be made via cash or check; fees payable to the Postal Service may be made via cash, check, debit or credit.

Customers who cannot attend the fair but need a passport can schedule an alternative appointment at www.usps.com. Under the Find Locations tab, select Passports to locate a nearby USPS passport processing office. Call the office using the number provided to schedule an appointment.
