📖 About this office
Winston-Salem State University's Passport Office operates as a full-service passport acceptance facility open to all Forsyth County residents, not just WSSU students and staff. Located in the Donald Julian Reaves Student Center at 601 S Martin Luther King Jr Dr on the WSSU campus, this office provides a convenient downtown-adjacent option for first-time applicants and families applying for child passports.
The facility is particularly valued for its walk-in-friendly model, where applicants check in using the QLess queuing system on the day of their visit and receive a text notification when it's their turn — eliminating the stress of strict appointment windows. Staff here are experienced in processing DS-11 new-application packets, verifying original documents, and forwarding completed applications to the U.S. Department of State.

💡 Good to know
This is one of Winston-Salem's most accessible acceptance sites because walk-ins are genuinely welcome — the QLess system lets you secure a virtual spot without committing to a fixed time. Bring your completed but unsigned DS-11, original proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate or prior passport), a valid government-issued photo ID, and the applicable State Department fee. The office is closed on university holidays and occasionally for administrative meetings, so check the WSSU Passport Office page before visiting.
