Vacationing in another country soon? Planning to study overseas next semester? Going someplace tropical this summer? If so, you will need a passport. The Gorham Post Office is hosting a Passport Fair from 5:30-8 p.m. on Wednesday, July 18, making it quick and easy for anyone to obtain a U.S. passport.
Students, families with children, and other members of the public can apply for a U.S. passport or to have a passport photo taken. Passport applications will be available at the event. Or, interested applicants may pick up a passport application ahead of time at the Gorham Post Office, fill it out and bring it to the event, then have a photo taken and just turn in the paperwork.
Along with the passport application, applicants must also bring a certified copy of their birth certificate (or previous passport for submission) along with a photo ID.
The Gorham Post Office is located at 1 Post Office Square.
Recent changes in U.S. State Department passport regulations now require American citizens to possess proof of application filing for a U.S. passport when returning by air from Canada and Mexico.
