📖 About this office
UC Berkeley Passport Services operates from the Recreational Sports Facility at 2301 Bancroft Way, on the southern edge of campus. It is an authorized U.S. passport acceptance facility that is open to everyone, not just students and staff, and it accepts first-time DS-11 applications for adults and minors.
The campus setting makes it a natural choice for students, faculty, visiting scholars, and neighbors in the Southside area near Telegraph Avenue. Appointments are required and can be booked up to 30 days ahead; walk-ins are not accepted. It sits within easy reach of the downtown Berkeley acceptance offices, giving applicants a second option when downtown slots fill up.
The office accepts DS-11 forms only; mail-in renewals on DS-82 and DS-5504 corrections are handled directly with the State Department rather than at this counter.
💡 Good to know
This is a good fit if you live or study near campus or want a Saturday option. Bring an unsigned DS-11, proof of citizenship, and a photo ID, plus a printed 2x2 photo since photos are not taken on site. If the campus calendar shows a holiday closure, check the other Berkeley offices for availability.
