📖 About this office
UA Passports is the University of Arizona's on-campus passport acceptance facility, now housed in Room 142 of the Student Union Memorial Center at 1303 E University Blvd. Run by the university's International Engagement office, it has been a go-to option for U of A students, faculty, and Tucson residents who prefer a campus-based experience — friendly staff, dedicated appointment slots, and passport photo service all under one roof.
The office accepts DS-11 applications (new passports, child passports, and replacements) and is especially popular with first-time applicants navigating the process for the first time, as staff are accustomed to walking people through the paperwork step by step. Passport photos are offered on site for $15, sparing applicants a separate errand. Book your appointment up to two weeks out through the UA scheduling portal; the average visit takes 15–20 minutes.
Because this facility sits on a major university campus with abundant transit connections along the 4th Ave / University Blvd corridor, it draws applicants from across the Tucson metropolitan area, not just the university community. If you are uncertain which Tucson acceptance site suits your schedule, the Tucson passport offices page compares all local options side by side, and the Arizona state guide covers the full acceptance network statewide.
💡 Good to know
Appointments are required and book up quickly near semester breaks and summer travel season — reserve your slot as early as possible. The $35 acceptance fee (payable to the U.S. Department of State acceptance agent) is separate from the government application fee; confirm current payment methods accepted when you book. UA Passports is open to the public, not just university affiliates. Walk-ins are not accepted. Phone: (520) 626-7161; email: INTL-Passport@arizona.edu.
