for a passport at the fair on Sept. 17 in the Kent Student
Center Ballroom.

The Passport Fair allows attendees to apply for passports on campus with guidance rather than go to an off-campus post office.

    - Previous Passport (must bring if you have one)
    - Birth Certificate or naturalization certificate
  • Copy of Driver’s license, government I.D. card, or Military I.D. card
    - Note: if the identification being submitted is from a state other than Ohio, a second form of identification is needed
  • Students should bring identification and copy of identification (no two-sided copies)

Expect to pay the following fees:

  • Personal checks only (No debit, cash or credit)
  • Payable to the U.S. Department of State
    - $110 (four- to six-week processing)
    - $184.85 (three-week processing)
