Simplifies Passport Application Process for Valley Isle Residents
What:
The Kahului Post Office is hosting another weekend Passport Fair event, at which postal employees will accept applications for new U.S. passports and answer questions about the application process.
This is only the second USPS Passport Fair held at the Kahului Post Office. Almost 100 new passport applications were processed at the office’s first Passport Fair in March.
Register for this event by sending an email to HawaiiPassportFair@state.gov Advance registration is required and the number of available appointment slots is extremely limited. Slots will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Applicants are advised to complete their DS-11 application for a new passport in advance, print it and bring it unsigned to the event with an acceptable passport photo, fees and documents. The DS-11 application form can be found at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/forms.html
Passport applicants must wear facemasks and adhere to social distancing guidelines at the event.

Background:
“We want to make the process of applying for new passports easy for Maui residents,” said Kahului Postmaster Nerisha Niu. “A lot of people don’t have the time during the week to visit a post office to submit their passport applications. We’re happy to leverage the convenience of the Postal Service to help our customers apply for new passports prior to the busy summer travel season.”
For information on new passport application requirements, forms and fees, go to www.travel.state.gov or call the toll-free National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778.
The Passport Agency reminds travelers to submit their passport applications as early as possible, far in advance of planned travel to avoid problems with receiving their passports.
