Passport Fair Today At The Century Post Office
August 24, 2015
The U.S. Postal Service is hosting a special Passport Fair at Century Post Office today to accept passport applications and provide passport information.
The event will take place at the Century Post Office are from 9 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.. Appointments are not required, so customers are encouraged to show up early, as applicants will be served on a first-come, first-served basis.
“We will continue to leverage the convenience of the Postal Service to help our customers apply for passports. Having this service available where an appointment is not necessary is a plus for our customers”, said Pamela Tramonte, Century Postmaster.
Today, customers can visit Century Post Office to apply for a passport without first having to make an appointment. To help the passport application process go smoothly and efficiently, the Postal Service recommends the following:
• Bring in proper proof of American citizenship. This must be either: a certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state; a previous U.S. passport; a certificate of citizenship; or a naturalization certificate. (Please note: a hospital-issued birth certificate alone is not acceptable.)
• Bring in proof of identity. This must be either: a previous U.S. passport; a naturalization certificate; a certificate of citizenship; or a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID. Also bring a photo copy of the driver’s license front and back.
• Passport photograph services will be provided on site for a $15.00 fee.
• To save time, customers can download a passport application at www.usps.com/passport to complete their application beforehand.
• All applicants must appear in person (including minors). Applicants under age 16 must appear with both parents. If one parent is not available, a notarized authorization from the absent parent is required along with a copy of their driver’s license front and back.
Each passport for an adult must be accompanied by a check or money order for $110 made payable to the U.S. State Department and a $25 execution fee made payable to Postmaster. Fees for children under 16 are $80 and $25.
The cost to expedite processing at the Department of State is $60 paid per application in addition to required fees.
The cost to expedite delivery service to the passport processing lockbox is $19.99 per family for Priority Mail Express paid to the United States Postal Service.
The cost to expedite delivery service is $14.85 paid per application directly to the Department of State for the delivery of an issued passport book from the Department of State to the customer. This service is only available to mailing addresses within the United States. Not valid for passport cards.
Passport customers may also check the U.S. State Department’s web site at www.travel.state.gov to obtain additional information. U.S. citizens also may obtain passport information by phone, in English or Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center toll free at 1-877-487-2778.
