📖 About this office
The CSUDH Passport Hub Center at California State University, Dominguez Hills is one of the South Bay's highest-volume passport acceptance facilities, handling both first-time applications and in-person photo services in a dedicated university space at CCPE-1201. Unlike a typical post office window, the Hub operates with extended daily hours and Saturday morning slots, making it a strong choice for applicants who work weekdays or need more scheduling flexibility. Staff are passport-specialized and can guide applicants through form requirements, document checklists, and photo standards on the spot.
Hours run Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with Saturday availability from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Appointments are strongly preferred and given priority over walk-ins; walk-in service is offered Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., when capacity allows. The center is closed Sundays and on CSUDH holidays. Book via the CSUDH online portal or by emailing eepassporthub@csudh.edu. The Carson passport offices page has direct links to each local facility for comparison.
CSUDH's central Dominguez Hills campus location, near the 405 and 110 interchange, is accessible by Metro bus from surrounding communities including Compton, Torrance, and Long Beach, making it a practical option for applicants without a car.
💡 Good to know
Appointments have priority at this facility — walk-ins may be turned away if the day's slots are full. Book ahead through the CSUDH portal or by emailing eepassporthub@csudh.edu, especially for Saturday visits which fill fast. Arrive with a completed but unsigned DS-11, original citizenship document, a valid government photo ID, and two recent passport-size photos. The hub can take photos on site if you don't have them. For expedited service beyond what an acceptance office can offer — such as travel in under two weeks — the California passport agency resource explains how to reach the Los Angeles Passport Agency for urgent appointments.
