📖 About this office
Penn State's Multimedia & Print Center, in the Hostetter Business Services Building on the University Park campus, began accepting United States passport applications and now takes appointments from both the Penn State community and the general public. For students preparing to study abroad, staff traveling for research, and nearby residents alike, it is a convenient alternative to the downtown post office right in the heart of campus.
The center acts as a passport acceptance agent, meaning an agent verifies your identity and documents, witnesses your signature, and sends your first-time or minor application on to the State Department. Appointments run about 15 minutes when you arrive with your forms completed, so it pays to have everything filled out before you go.
Because it is on campus, this option fits neatly around a class schedule or a workday at the University. Anyone in the State College area can book here, not only Penn State affiliates.
💡 Good to know
Call ahead to 814-865-7544 to reserve a slot and to ask whether passport photos are offered before you arrive. Have your DS-11 completed but unsigned, since the agent must witness your signature. If the campus schedule doesn't line up, the downtown post office on the State College page is another local acceptance point.
