Victorville Post Office to Host Rare Sunday Passport Fair

Sept. 25 Event is First Step in Planning International Travel

What:

The Victorville Post Office is hosting a Passport Fair, at which postal employees will accept applications for new U.S. passports.

“The purpose of this event is to make the process of applying for new passports easy for Victorville residents,” said Victorville Postmaster Cheri Haider. “A lot of people, especially those with schoolchildren, don’t have the time during the week to visit a post office to submit their passport applications.”

“My postal clerks and I are coming into the office on a Sunday to help customers who want to get a head start on their international travel plans, whether for the 2022 holidays or for some time in 2023. This is the first Sunday Passport Fair at our office in recent memory.”

Now that COVID-19 concerns have declined and nations have welcomed back travelers, many Victorville residents are eager to get out and see the world. For anyone traveling internationally, the first step is to get a passport. We’ll be here on Sept. 25 to help them with that.”
