Owens Hosts Community U.S. Passport Processing Day
PERRYSBURG TOWNSHIP, OH – Area residents in need of a new U.S. passport are invited to Owens Community College as the academic institution’s Office of International Programs and Services partners with the U.S. Postal Service and hosts a Passport Processing Day on Tuesday, March 15.
Individuals can apply for passports from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in the College Hall Atrium on the Toledo-area Campus. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township.
Owens employees and students, as well as community members, will have the opportunity to have their passport photos taken and complete the application in one central location. The entire process is expected to last approximately 15 minutes and can be accelerated by having the passport application, which is available online at www.state.gov, completed prior to visiting Owens.
Those interested will need to bring a valid driver’s license (or state ID) and their original birth certificate with the raised seal. U.S. Postal Service representatives will process the paper work, take photographs and collect the necessary fees.
