Concurrent with its annual Education Abroad Fair, the Office of International Program will sponsor a Passport Day on campus.  Anyone in the Vassar community (students, faculty, staff, administrators) may participate.  

Representatives from the Dutchess County Clerk’s Office will be on campus to process new applications and take the required passport photos, which can also be purchased for an extra fee if needed for travel visas. (Please note that passport renewals will not be done at this event, as they must be mailed in directly to the U.S. State Dept.)

The clerks will have passport applications, but to save time we recommend completing the form here and printing out the completed passport application in advance.  Be sure to bring any required documents as evidence of citizenship.  Information about which documents suffice as evidence of citizenship is available here.
