The
Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in
San José invites U.S. citizens, residents
and tourists, living in Jaco Beach and the
surrounding districts of Puntarenas
Province to a Town Hall meeting.
The
meeting is
scheduled to
be held on
Tuesday, July 23 at 10:30 a.m. in the
Centro Civico La Paz in
Garabito Canton, which is one kilometer
west of the Maxi Pali supermarket.
The
embassy stated that the meeting's
primary objective is to engage in open
conversations regarding topics of interest
or concern.
Additionally,
passport renewal
services will be provided.
Those
interested in renewing their passport
should bring a fully completed application, as
well as
their passport and original documentation.
They
should also provide a photocopy of any
submitted papers, such as passports, birth
certificates, and ID cards. According to
the embassy, children's
applications must be
signed by
both parents.
The
passport renewal information can easily be
accessed on
the U.S. Embassy website.
"Payment
for services must be made
through Pay.Gov, no
on-site payments can be collected," they
added.
If a
passport gets stolen, lost, or damaged,
the applicant must schedule an interview
at the embassy,
since the staff participating in this Town
Hall will not be able to accept the
application at this event, they advised.
The
correct amount must
be paid for the service, as
collections are
not permitted
during the event. If
any payment discrepancies arise or the
application requires further information,
the application may be denied and/or the
applicant may be required to visit the
embassy for a formal interview.
The
links to Pay.Gov for
passport renewal services are listed
below.
In
the case of
adult passport renewal, the cost is $130 and the
document link is DS-82
U.S. Passport
Renewal Application Fee Payment Form.
For
younger minors under the
age of 16,
the passport renewal cost is $135 and the
file link is Form
DS-11 Passport Application Fee.
For
a first adult passport or minors over the
age of 16
and older, the cost is $165 the
document's
link is on Form
DS-11 Passport Application Fee.
As
there is only a limited capacity for the
meeting, those who would like to attend
should email scssanjose@state.gov to
confirm their participation.

the embassy organized a Town Hall
meeting in San José.
