The summer travel season is upon us, and I know how hectic traveling can be. Before you take off this summer, make sure your passport is up to date. My staff can help you with passport issues, working hand-in-hand with the U.S. Department of State to ensure you have the proper identification. 

My office is hosting a passport fair on Saturday, June 22nd at 11 a.m. at the Rocky Hill Community Center. At this event, you will have the opportunity to get your questions answered and submit your passport application to be processed. 

Please keep in mind that routine processing for passport applications can take up to 6-8 weeks, while expedited processing can take up to 2-3 weeks. Consider the total time it will take to get a passport when you are booking travel. Processing times only reflect the estimated time your application is with a passport agency or center before your passport is mailed to you. 

I hope to see you there. For more information about passport renewals and applications, visit travel.state.gov or call my District Office at 860-278-8888.
