The U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt and the Ramstein and U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz passport offices are scheduled to host a Passport Outreach Day from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on Ramstein in Bldg. 2402. Your local USO will also be there to support the event by serving refreshments.
This event will serve as an outreach to provide the Kaiserslautern and Baumholder military communities with expedited service for passport applications prior to the holiday travel season. Consulate representatives will be on-site to accept tourist passport and Consular Report of Birth Abroad applications. Representatives from the Federal Benefits Unit and Immigrant Visa Section will also be available to answer questions related to social security and immigrant visas.
In addition, the consulate will provide a U.S. citizenship and immigration briefing from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Hercules Theater, next to the main event building. Anyone interested in finding out more about immigrating to the U.S., maintaining permanent resident status while living overseas or becoming a U.S. citizen is welcome to attend this briefing and get answers directly from the U.S. Consulate.
The Ramstein and USAG Rheinland-Pfalz passport offices have detailed checklists for tourist passports and CRBA on their websites to aid in filling out applications prior to the event.
