The Department of State has issued an announcement declaring Saturday, March 28, 2009, as “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. All Department of State Passport Agencies and many Passport Acceptance Facilities around the country will host passport application acceptance events. The State Department is encouraging U.S. citizens without a valid passport book or passport card to apply on this day.
