Happy Passport Day - September 17

 
Since 9/11 and the implementation of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, all U.S. and Canadian citizens must present a secure travel document when entering the U.S.  On Saturday September 17, the Department of State is hosting “Passport Day in the USA.”   Domestic passport agencies and many passport application facilities such as post offices and court clerk’s offices will be open for the public to apply for passports or passport cards.  No appointment is necessary. The passport book is required for air travel; however, the passport card can be used for land and sea ports.

  • Previously issued, undamaged U.S. Passport
  • Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state Consular Report of Birth
  • Abroad or Certification of Birth
  • Naturalization Certificate
  • Certificate of Citizenship
