TRENTON, TN – The Trenton Post Office, located at 200 S College St., is hosting a Passport Fair on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.  The Fair hours are 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.  Convenient Saturday hours assist busy families who are planning international travel.

Fairs serve customers on a first come, first served basis.  No appointments are needed.  (There is a limited capacity for acceptance.) 

NOTE:  The State Department now recommends allowing six to eight weeks for processing.  For an additional fee, they will expedite the application within three weeks.

Customers have the option of applying for a passport book (good for all international travel) or the passport card (good only for land and sea travel between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda).

Passport fees

The fees listed above must be paid with a personal check or money order. There is a $35 processing/acceptance fee and a $15 fee for photos, which can be paid for by cash, personal check, debit and credit cards, or money order.  The Trenton Post Office offers passport photo services.
