The U.S. Postal Service will be hosting several passport fairs at Fort Worth Post Offices Saturday April 18 to ensure that U.S. citizens get their passports at a convenient time.
Appointments are not required, and customers are encouraged to arrive early as applicants will be served on a first-come first-served basis.
- Bring 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 proof of identity. This must be either: a recently issued U.S. passport; a recently issued naturalization certificate; a recently issued certificate of citizenship; or a current valid driver's license, government ID or military photo ID.
- Bring a photocopy of your proof of identity. Each applicant must bring a front and back photocopy of the ID that will be presented at the time of passport acceptance.
- The passport application requires recent passport photograph of you (2" x 2" in size), which the Post Office Passport Office can provide for $15.
To save time, customers may download a passport application at www.usps.com/passport to complete beforehand.
