Passport Day at Milo Post Office

MILO — International travel increased in 2015 to more than 1.2 billion travelers. According to the World Tourism Organization that’s 4.4 percent more than in 2014, and the U.S. Postal Service is ready to prepare travelers for such future excursions.

Now is the time to plan that international trip of your dreams. To make it easier to apply for a passport, the Milo Post Office is hosting a Passport Day with extended hours on Saturday, Sept. 10. Stop by at 10 Pleasant Street between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., no appointment is necessary. Postal clerks can even take a passport photo.

“With routine passport processing times of six weeks, it’s never too early to start planning for that out-of-country trip,” Milo Postmaster Susan Libby said. “And we’re here to help.” She cites USPS.com as an excellent resource for getting passport paperwork and locating other acceptance facilities across the nation.
