“Whether traveling for a vacation, business, studying abroad or to see family members, a passport is essential for flying to another country,” said Meng. “As our borough continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are once again traveling and many are already planning trips for the summer travel season that is just around the corner. This passport service that I am pleased to offer will make applying for or renewing a passport easier and more convenient, and I encourage constituents to take advantage of it on Feb. 5.”
The following is what local residents should bring:
- If applying for a first-time passport, bring an original copy and photocopy of proof of identity AND U.S. Citizenship documents.
- For a renewal, bring the most recent passport and name change documents if there are any.
- Debit/credit card, or check/money order made payable to “Postmaster” for acceptance fees.
- Check/money order made payable to “U.S. Department of State” for processing fees.
- A color passport photo taken in the last six months, or a photo can be taken on-site with an additional fee.
