The Ellis County District Clerk’s office is hosting a Passport Fair in Waxahachie, Texas on Saturday, March 27, 2010 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm to provide passport information to U.S. citizens and to accept passport applications.

U.S. citizens must present a valid passport book when entering or re-entering the United States by air. U.S. citizens entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda at land borders and sea ports of entry must present a passport book, passport card, or other travel documents approved by the U.S. government. 
 
In order to complete your passport application, you must bring (2) professional passport photos, a certified copy (with a raised seal) of your birth certificate (which will be sent in with your application to the Dept. of State, but returned to you afterwards), a copy of front and back of valid ID, separate check or money order for each application and $25 cash or debit/credit card for each application.
