The Genesee County Clerk’s office will hold our “National Passport Day” from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, March 26 at 15 Main Street, County Building #1.
As with “National Passport Day in the USA 2010” on March 27, it's a reminder to residents that traveling to Canada now requires either a passport card, passport book or enhanced license if the traveler is over 19 years old.
The day allows us to extend an invitation to residents to come in and apply for your passport at the clerk's office before the proposed increase in fees takes affect.
You will need to bring your certified birth certificate or other citizenship documentation and your driver's license or other acceptable form of identity. Passport photographs are available in the local office. If you are applying for anyone under the age of 16, both parents and the child need to be present.
If you have any questions, please call the clerk's office for clarification at 585-344-2550, ext. 2316. The friendly staff is there to assist in the process, and cookies and punch will be available for your enjoyment on that day. So if you are thinking about getting your passport, this would be an excellent time before the proposed fee increase takes effect!
