Albany, NY — The U.S. Postal Service wants to make applying for a passport as easy as possible for college-affiliated travelers and that is why we are hosting passport fairs at SUNY campuses in and around Albany.

On Friday, September 29, 2017, USPS passport processing agents will be available at the following passport fair locations.

No appointment is necessary however applicants need to bring with them the following items:

• The completed DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport form, which can be found at the Department of State website at https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports.html. Do not sign the form
• Proof of US citizenship
• Proof of identity (valid driver’s license, government employee ID, military ID)
• Photocopies of U.S. citizenship and identification documents (these will be sent with the application, but bring originals for proof documentation)
• Appropriate payment. Acceptable forms of payment can be found on the Department of State website. (Please note that neither debit nor credit cards are acceptable forms of payment by the Department of State)

As information, both parents must be present to get passports for children under 16.
For added convenience, passport photographs can be taken at the fairs for a fee.
