Travel & Adventure Show

Apply for Your U.S. Passport

The Passport Acceptance Program

Looking to renew your passport but don’t know where to start? Take care of this task right at the Dallas Travel Adventure Show and you’ll also receive tickets to the event for free!

Sponsored by the Dallas Passport Agency, they will be accepting adult passport renewal applications with payment by check or money order while you explore the Show finding your next trip.

How it Works

Simply fill out the form on the right side of this page to register. One week prior to the Dallas Travel & Adventure Show, taking place on March 23rd and March 24th at Dallas Market Hall, you will receive an email with a reminder of what you need to bring, as well as the check in process. Note that the Passport Acceptance Program will have capacity for only 350 attendees throughout the weekend, so only 175 attendees per day. We recommend registering immediately as the Passport Acceptance Program will sell out. In order to renew, your passport must have been issues less than 15 years ago, was valid for 10 years, and is in your possession. Any name change must be accompanied by a certified name change document.
