TAMPA, FL — Travelling this holiday? Need a passport? The Postal Service makes obtaining a new passport or renewing your old one an easy and convenient experience. If your travel plans include visiting any country outside the USA, including Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Bahamas or Bermuda, then you will need a passport. Current regulations state in addition to presenting a valid passport book when returning to the United States by air, you’ll need to present a U.S. passport at land borders and seaports of entry to return home.
The Tampa Main Office Window Unit Post Office at 3501 Bessie Coleman Blvd, Tampa, FL 33630 will host a Passport Fair, Saturday, Nov.18 from 12:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

For persons under 16, the total cost is $100 to the Department of State and a $35 processing fee to the Postal Service. The Postal Service also offers a passport photo service at a cost of $15. The application must be paid by cash or check. Credit or debit cards, as well as cash or checks, may be used to cover the cost of photos and acceptance fees.

The United States Postal Service is an independent federal establishment, mandated to be self-financing and to serve every American community through the affordable, reliable and secure delivery of mail and packages to 169 million addresses six and often seven days a week. Overseen by a bipartisan Board of Governors, the Postal Service is implementing a 10-year transformation plan, Delivering for America, to modernize the postal network, restore long-term financial sustainability, dramatically improve service across all mail and shipping categories, and maintain the organization as one of America’s most valued and trusted brands.
The Postal Service generally receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.
