Need a passport? Apply for one at the Kitsap County
Fair
PORT
ORCHARD, WA—The Kitsap County Clerk's Office will once again be
available to process passports at the Kitsap County Fair. Staff will be
available to process applications on August 22 – 24 from 2 – 6 pm and August
25 and 26 from 10 am – 6 pm, in the Kitsap County booth in the main
building.
"Most people know by now that passports are required for travel by air to
and from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean and all other foreign countries,”
Kitsap County Clerk Dave Peterson said. “Because of the number of citizens
applying for passports, applications are taking much longer than the usual
six weeks. If you know you will need a passport, apply as early as you can.”
A passport application must be accompanied with an official certified copy
(not a hospital record) of the applicant’s birth certificate, photo ID, two
new passport photos and the appropriate fees, payable by check or money
order. All applicants must be present. Children under 14 must be accompanied
by both parents, unless permission of the absent parent is obtained and
stated on a signed and notarized form.
Fees are $67 + $30 (separate checks) for each adult and $52 + $30 for each
child. For expedited service from the United States Department of State, an
additional $60 is required.
