The Angier Post Office is joining the Department of State in celebrating Passport Day in the USA 2013, a national passport acceptance and outreach event on Saturday, March 9. Angier is one of six Triangle-area Post Offices participating in Passport Day – the others are Durham Main, Louisburg, Wake Forest, Wendell and Westgate-Raleigh. The Passport Fair in Angier will be held on Saturday, March 9, 2012 from 9 am – 3 pm in the lobby of the Angier Post Office, 31 W. Dupree Street. Applicants are encouraged in advance to print an application online at www.usps.com/passport, and have it completed but unsigned prior to going to the Post Office. Appointments are welcome. Currently, most passports cost $135 for adults and $105 for children under 16 years of age, while passport cards cost $55 additionally, and $40 more for minors. Both parents and the minor(s) must be present when processing passports for minors. To help the passport application process run smoothly and efficiently, the Postal Service recommends the following: • Bring in 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 in 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 Post Office for $15. For appointments and additional information, please contact Angier Post Office, (919) 639-7129.
