Arapahoe County, March 28, will celebrate “Passport Day in the
USA,” a national outreach event to inform the public about the
upcoming changes to U.S. travel document requirements, provide
passport information and accept passport applications from U.S.
citizens from coast-to-coast and border-to-border.
On June 1, U.S. citizens must present a passport book, passport
card or other travel documents approved by the U.S. government to
enter the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and
Bermuda at land borders and seaports of entry.
On that day only, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arapahoe County
Clerk and Recorder’s office, 5334 S. Prince St., appointments and
expedite fees are not required for those applying at a Passport
Agency. Applicants can expect to receive their passport in
approximately four weeks for routine service and about two to three
weeks for expedited service.
U.S. citizens without a valid passport book or passport card are
encouraged to apply on this day.
“For all those folks who can’t visit our office during the week,
this is a great opportunity to apply for a passport,” said Nancy
Doty, Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder. “Currently, it takes four
to six weeks for you to receive your passport after submitting an
application.”
Information on the cost and how to apply for a passport book and
a passport card is available at www.travel.state.gov. U.S.
citizens may also obtain passport information by phone, in English
and Spanish, by calling the National Passport Information Center
toll-free at 1-877-487-2778. All applicants should bring passport
photos with them when applying, because the Clerk and Recorder’s
Office does not have the ability to make passport photos.
For more information about passports, and the services offered
by the Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder’s Office, including
driver’s license renewal, motor vehicle registration, voter
registration, document recording and marriage licenses, visit
