You can also have a friend pick up your passport by giving them written authorization to present to us.

Our ability to answer Social Security, VA, or other federal benefits questions will be limited, but we will try to provide forms and answers.

Consular Reports of Birth cannot be processed during consular outreach trips.

Costs for services will be announced along with the hours and venues for each outreach event.
