passport ncpa - 1

Washington, D.C. — Congress members from both sides of the aisle are urging the State Department to reconsider their move to close passport services in libraries. 

Pa. Congress members Sen. John Fetterman and Dave McCormick and Representatives John Joyce, M.D., Madeleine Dean, Lloyd Smucker, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Rob Bresnahan have all signed a letter urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to extend library passport services in response to a ban on libraries serving as passport acceptance facilities. The extension is intended to be a temporary measure while Congress sorts out a permanent solution to passport accessibility.
