The U.S. Post Office on Robison Road is hosting a passport fair from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. today to help applicants residents who cannot visit during normal business hours.
Appointments are not required, but applicants will be served on a first-come, first-served basis until the applicant maximum capacity is reached.

To obtain a passport, applicants need to bring:

This must be either a previous U.S. passport or passport card, certificate of naturalization with identifiable photo attached, certificate of citizenship with identifiable photo attached, valid driver's license (not temporary or learner's permit), official U.S. military or military dependent identification card, government employee identification card (federal, state, municipal, county) or current valid foreign passport.
- A clear photocopy of proof of identity. If the document is two-sided, then a photocopy of the front and back of the document must be provided.
