Hudson County Clerk Taking Part in ‘Passport Day in the USA 2010′
By Jon Whiten • Mar 22nd, 2010 • Category: Blog, News
The State Department’s Passport Day in the USA 2010 is slated for Saturday, March 27, and the Hudson County Clerk’s office (257 Cornelison Ave., 4th Floor) is getting involved.
The clerk will be open from 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday, and will be offering passport photos for no fee for those applying for passports. The nationwide initiative, now in its second year, is designed to get as many people as possible to apply for passports. Last year, more than 57,000 applications were processed on the day.
Hudson County Clerk Barbara Netchert points out that it is a good time to apply for a passport, with a proposed $35 application fee increase likely to be enacted sometime this year. The fee increase would be the third in five years.
