Special Passport Acceptance Fairs held at select locations

The U.S. Department of State has provided information about special passport acceptance fairs being held at specific locations. Passport acceptance facilities such as post offices, libraries, and local government offices are hosting special passport acceptance fairs across the United States to help you and your family apply for your passport. Most events are for first-time customers and children using Form DS-11 to apply. Applicants who want to renew their passport are encouraged to renew by mail. 

Some passport acceptance facilities are always open on the weekends. Applicants can locate a facility nearby by using the State Department’s Acceptance Facility Search Tool.

Passport acceptance facilities only offer routine and expedited service. To apply for a passport for urgent travel, applicants are encouraged to make an appointment at a passport agency or center.
