📖 About this office
At 201 North Broadway, the City of Escondido operates a public counter in its utility and city services building that also serves as a designated passport acceptance point. For residents who are already heading downtown to handle a city bill or municipal errand, combining that trip with a passport application can save a separate stop at the post office.
City staff here act as acceptance agents, checking your documents, witnessing your DS-11 signature, and forwarding the sealed application. Because this is a municipal office rather than a full-service passport agency, service is offered during regular city business hours and typically by appointment; call ahead so you know the counter is staffed for passport work on the day you plan to come.
This civic option rounds out the choices covered on our Escondido passport guide, which also points to agencies across the rest of California.
💡 Good to know
Phone ahead to confirm passport availability and whether an appointment is required, since the counter also handles city business. Bring your DS-11, citizenship documents, ID with a photocopy, and separate payments. Other nearby choices are listed on the Escondido overview.
