Meng to Hold Passport Event to
Help Queens Residents Apply For Train to Grand Central Madison
or Renew a Passport

In order to make it easier for Queens residents to obtain
passports, U.S. Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens) will host a pass-
port event to help constituents apply for or renew a passport.
The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday,
February 5, 2023 at the United States Post Office Flushing
Main Street location, Suite 1, which is located at 4165 Main
Street in Flushing, Queens. No appointment is necessary.
To receive a passport, an individual must be a U.S. citizen
or non-citizen national, and they need to complete the applica-
tion form which Postal Service clerks can assist with on-site.
The required supporting documents must also be submitted
and details can be found here.
“Whether traveling for a vacation, business, studying abroad
or to see family members, a passport is essential for flying
to another country,” said Meng. “As our borough continues
to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, more people are
once again traveling and many are already planning trips for
the summer travel season that is just around the corner. This
passport service that I am pleased to offer will make applying
for or renewing a passport easier and more convenient, and I
encourage constituents to take advantage of it on February 5th.”
The following is what local residents should bring:
