Passport Ready -Owning your 2026

Owning Your 2026 doesn’t end with making a vision board.
Now it’s time to take action—to face our fears, check things off the list, and turn plans into reality.

If travel is part of your 2026 vision, one of the most important steps is making sure you have the proper documents, starting with your passport. I’m here to help you set a date, stick to it, and get it done.

Let’s meet at the MLK Passport Processing Center at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC to submit your passport application together. Note: You are responsible for filling out the application and pay the appropriate fees. This day is to help you have a specific date to get it done by.
