An event Saturday in San Luis, Ariz., will allow area residents to apply for their U.S. passports.
The San Luis Post Office and U.S. State Department are jointly hosting the event as part of Passport Day in the USA 2012, a nationwide effort to help U.S. citizens seeking to get or renew passports needed to travel to Mexico and all other foreign countries.
The San Luis event will be 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the U.S. Post Office at 874 S. Main St.
The public will be able to file applications and pay passport fees, or simply get information about applying, said Diane Merrill, the San Luis postmaster. Also during the event, residents can have their photographs taken for their passports.
U.S. citizens are required to have a passport card when returning from Mexico to the U.S. through all sea or land ports. Passport cards also are needed when returning from Canada, the Caribbean and Bermuda through land or sea ports. A passport is required of U.S. citizens returning by overseas flights.
A passport costs $135, a passport card $55. Both are good for a decade.
