Passport Fair Saturday At The Gonzalez Post Office

February 27, 2020

A passport fair will be held from 8:30 until 11 a.m.  Saturday at the Gonzalez Post Office at 1450 Old Chemstrand Road.

Appointments are not required on passport fair days, however, customers are encouraged to show up early, as applicants will be served on a first-come, first-served basis until the applicant maximum capacity has been reached. Passport photo services will be available for those needing a new or updated passport photo.

To save time, customers can visit www.usps.com/passport to learn about the application process and also download and complete an application form before coming to the Passport Fair.
