📖 About this office
Run by the Clerk of the Superior Court, the Southeast Regional Facility on East Javelina Avenue gives Mesa residents a courthouse-based alternative to the post office for submitting a first-time U.S. passport application. Because it sits inside a Maricopa County government building, staff are used to handling formal identity paperwork, and the setting is a natural fit if you are already picking up other court or vital records the same day.
This is an acceptance facility, not a printing agency: clerks verify your identity, witness your signature on Form DS-11, and forward the sealed packet to the State Department for processing. Appointments are handled through the Clerk of the Superior Court and are offered on a limited basis, so booking ahead is essential. If the courthouse calendar is full, the two USPS locations covered on our Mesa passport page give you nearby fallback options.
💡 Good to know
Bring the original of every citizenship document plus a photocopy, and pay the State Department fee separately from any county service charge. Minors need both parents or guardians present. Court parking and security screening can add time, so arrive a few minutes early. For statewide context and other Arizona cities, see our Arizona passport guide.
