The Gateway post office in San Francisco will host a Passport Fair on Wednesday to help prepare residents for spring travel, according to a U.S. Postal Service spokesman.
Passport clerks will be available at the fair to assist residents in applying for a new passport book or passport card, which is a less expensive alternative for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean.
The fair will also provide residents with the opportunity to obtain mailing and shipping options available at the post office, such as online discounts and free package pickup.
The fair will take place beginning 9 a.m. at the post office, located at 1 Embarcadero.
