REDDING, CA — Spring has sprung, and many have started to finalize their plans for the next fantastic family vacation. If the travel destination is International, you still need to secure your passport. To make that process easier two Sacramento Valley Post Offices are opening their appointments for the next four Sundays.

On Sunday May 21, 28, June 4 and 11 customers can book their passport appointments for any of the participating locations online.

“We know a lot of customers don’t have time during the week to visit a post office to submit their passport applications. That’s why we’ve opened the next four Sundays to accommodate our customers and reduce the stress,” said District Manager Raj Sanghera.

Postal clerks will be on hand to provide passport information and to accept passport applications.

To ensure each application is processed within this window and with consideration of the time it takes to process each passport application, the following post offices will only be able to accommodate appointment only passport applications.

You can book your appointment at USPS.com/Passport

To help speed up the process, customers should fill out forms ahead of time. Application forms and information on the costs and how to apply for a passport book and/or passport card 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.
