Passport Fair

Traveling abroad in the near future? Visit this passport fair on National Pssport Day.

San Diego residents will be able to apply for passports on a walk-in basis. No appointments are necessary!

To obtain a passport for the first time, applicants need proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver’s license. A certified copy of a birth certificate (not a photocopy) is the best proof of citizenship.
