CVS Health Expands Passport Services to Make Travel Easier for Customers
In an effort to make international travel easier for its customers, CVS Health is expanding its passport services to select locations across the country. The move comes as more Americans are looking to travel abroad after being cooped up at home during the COVID-19 pandemic.
CVS Health had previously offered passport photo services at select locations, but now customers can also apply for or renew their passports at select CVS stores. This new service is aimed at providing convenience and accessibility to customers who may not have easy access to government offices or post offices that offer passport services.
“Our goal at CVS Health is to make health and wellness more accessible and convenient for our customers,” said Karen Lynch, President and CEO of CVS Health. “By expanding our passport services, we are helping to make international travel more accessible and hassle-free for our customers.”
Customers can now visit select CVS locations to have their passport photos taken and apply for or renew their passports. CVS has partnered with a third-party provider to offer these services, ensuring that customers receive the same level of quality and security as they would at a government office.
To apply for a passport at CVS, customers must bring a completed DS-11 form, proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a birth certificate or naturalization certificate), government-issued photo ID, a passport photo, and payment for the passport application fee. The passport application fee varies depending on the type of service requested (e.g. standard processing vs. expedited processing) and the customer’s age.
In addition to offering passport services, CVS Health is also providing resources and guidance to customers who may have questions about the passport application process. Customers can speak with CVS associates who have been trained to assist with passport applications, ensuring that the process is as seamless as possible.
“We understand that applying for or renewing a passport can be a daunting task for some customers, especially if they have never done it before,” said Lynch. “That’s why we’re committed to providing the resources and support needed to make the process as easy and stress-free as possible.”
The expansion of passport services at CVS Health comes at a time when travel restrictions are beginning to lift around the world. With more Americans looking to book vacations to international destinations, having access to convenient passport services can make the travel planning process much smoother.
“We know that many of our customers are eager to get back out and explore the world after being stuck at home for so long,” said Lynch. “By offering passport services at select CVS locations, we’re helping to make that dream a reality for our customers.”
Customers interested in utilizing CVS Health’s passport services can visit the company’s website to find a list of participating locations. CVS plans to expand its passport services to more stores in the coming months, ensuring that customers across the country have access to this convenient service.
In conclusion, CVS Health’s expansion of passport services is a welcome development for customers looking to make international travel plans. By offering passport photo services and the ability to apply for or renew passports at select locations, CVS is helping to make the travel planning process easier and more convenient for its customers. With travel restrictions beginning to lift, having access to these services can help customers fulfill their travel dreams with ease.
