Scarsdale Post Office to Host Passport Fair Tuesday

To help the passport application process run smoothly and efficiently, postal officials recommends the following: 

·         Print an application online at www.usps.com/passport or www.travel.state.govand have it completed but unsigned prior to going to the Scarsdale Post Office Passport Fair.

·         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 previous U.S. passport; a naturalization certificate; a certificate of citizenship; a current valid driver’s license, government ID or military photo ID. Bring original plus a photo copy of the ID, front and back on same side of page.

·         The passport application requires an identical color photograph of you, which is available at the Scarsdale Post Office Passport Fair for $15.

Currently, most passports cost $135 for adults and $105 for children less than 16 years of age.  Both parents must be present when processing passports for minors.
