Need a brand new passport? Need to renew an old passport? All PC students, faculty, and staff are invited to participate in Passport Day, an opportunity to apply for a passport conveniently on campus. We will be hosting the Cumberland Public Library, a designated passport agency, and its staff will be processing your passport applications.

This event is only open to members of the PC community.

How to Participate:

• Step 1: Print out and thoroughly read through the instructions on “What You Need to Apply for a Passport.” Please make note of special directions, such as ink color, whether pages should be double or single sided when printed, and what documentation needs to be in an original format.
• Step 2: Visit the www.travel.state.gov website to determine which passport application best meets your needs (Get a Passport or Renew or Replace a Passport). The links to the specific applications can be found within the various categories and steps listed on these pages.
• Step 3: Follow all directions carefully to complete your application and gather all supporting documentation (make sure to have originals and any needed front and back copies).
• Step 4: Bring everything to the Slavin Fishbowl anytime between 11am-2pm. It is first come, first served with no appointment needed!

This event is meant to be a quick way to have your passport application reviewed and submitted for processing. Your application and and any accompanying materials need to be in order on the day of the event. Copy and photo services along with money orders will NOT be available on site.

Want to learn more about studying abroad and what it is like? Stop by our Global Ambassador table to find out and ask your questions! Our Global Ambassadors are PC students who were once like you, navigating the study abroad process along with an entirely new country and culture. Our attending Global Ambassadors are ready to share what they know with future students considering study abroad. They are a great resource as they have first hand experience and advice that can help you decide if a program or location (or even study abroad in general) is right for you.
