ROWLETT, TX (Sept. 17, 2026) — Travelling later this year? Need a passport? The Postal Service makes obtaining a new passport or renewing your old one an easy and convenient experience. If your travel plans include visiting any country outside the USA, including Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean, Bahamas or Bermuda anytime soon, then you will need a passport. Current regulations state in addition to presenting a valid passport book when returning to the United States by air, you’ll need to present a U.S. passport at land borders and seaports of entry to return home. This is a walk-in event. No appointment is necessary.
