From the City’s Community Affairs Department…

The Troy City Clerk’s office is hosting a Saturday Passport Drive for all those who need to apply for a passport but find it hard to stop in during the week. The City Clerk’s Office will be processing passport applications on Saturday, March 10, from 9 am - noon. The City Clerk’s office is an official passport acceptance facility that offers passport photo services as well.

Citizens may also continue to apply for passports Monday through Friday from 8 am–4 pm. You do not have to be a Troy resident to submit your paperwork through the City.

“We hope this special Saturday Passport Drive will assist those who find it difficult to drop by City Hall during our regular business hours,” City Clerk Tonni Bartholomew said.

As of December 31 2006 a passport is required for all international sea and air travel and will soon be required land border crossings. Applications are available at www.travel.state.gov or the Troy City Clerk’s office. The City Clerk’s office is located at Troy City Hall, 500 West Big Beaver on the second floor.
