U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has issued a statement following the U.S. Department of State's announcement regarding the establishment of a new U.S. passport agency in San Antonio, Texas.
"Home to the Alamo, the annual Fiesta celebration, and the largest joint military base in the nation, my hometown of San Antonio has a rich cultural history and serves as a hub for veterans, businesses, and visitors across the globe," said Sen. Cornyn. "With only three other U.S. passport agencies in Texas, this much-needed facility in 'Military City USA' will make it easier and more convenient for Texans to obtain and renew a passport."
The FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which Sen. Cornyn supported, directed the Bureau of Consular Affairs to enhance in-person and emergency passport services for residents living more than five hours away from an existing passport agency. Besides San Antonio, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, Orlando, and Charlotte have also been identified as meeting these criteria.
