📖 About this office
UA Passports is the University of Arizona's dedicated passport acceptance office, offering full-service application processing in the heart of the main campus. Located in the Student Union Memorial Center at 1303 E University Blvd, Room 142, the office provides a convenient one-stop experience for students, faculty, and Tucson-area residents alike. On-site passport photos eliminate the need to visit a separate location before your appointment.
The office is staffed by trained acceptance agents who review DS-11 applications for accuracy and completeness before sealing them for submission to the U.S. Department of State. It operates entirely by appointment, which can be scheduled up to two weeks in advance through the university booking system. Average appointment time is 15 to 20 minutes per applicant.
With its campus setting near Central Tucson, UA Passports draws many first-time applicants heading abroad for study, research, or international travel. It rounds out Tucson's acceptance options alongside the downtown courthouse and the Main Post Office south of the city. See the full Tucson passport offices guide to compare all locations.
💡 Good to know
UA Passports does not handle passport renewals submitted by mail (DS-82); those go directly to the State Department. Walk-ins are not accepted — all visitors must book online in advance. The office is open to the general public, not only University of Arizona affiliates. For statewide context, the Arizona passport offices guide covers additional cities.
