Since November 2015, a representative from the American Consul in Florence pays a monthly visit to Camp Darby to provide a variety of services.
These services include official and no-fee passports for active duty, Department of Defense civilians and their family members, tourist passports, Social Security cards, reports of birth abroad and notarial.
"Through these visits, Darby Military Community members have the opportunity to benefit from those services right at the Family Affairs office," said Michela Ferrara, soggiorno liaison technician. "The service will be provided on a 'first-come, first-served' basis, and the monthly visits will be announced to the community in advance."
Ferrara added that this is an additional service to the one already provided by the Family Affairs office on a daily basis.
"This is a very convenient opportunity for customers who have to apply (for) or renew their official and no-fee passports," Ferrara said. "Applicants will also have the second option to go to the Consulate in Florence for their government official passports instead of driving to Vicenza."
The Family Affairs office is available to check all applications/packages and to provide information about possible fees prior to the consular visit.
"It is a pleasure for us to be able to provide this service to the community, saving time and effort to military families," said Vice Consul of the United States of America Scott Macintosh.
For additional information, feel free to contact the Family Affairs office at 633-7371 or at michela.ferrara3.ln@mail.mil. The next visit from the consular officer from Florence will be announced via E-mail.
