LOUISVILLE, KY —For customers planning international trips, several post offices will host upcoming Passport Fairs. Fairs serve customers on a first come, first served basis. No appointments are needed. (There is a limited capacity for acceptance.)
NOTE: For appointments during regular passport processing hours, the U.S. Postal Service has made scheduling easier with the launch of the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler™ tool (RCAS) at http://www.usps.com/scheduler.
