📖 About this office

The Passport Place at Fresno State, run by the university’s Division of Continuing and Global Education, has grown since 2012 into one of the busiest passport acceptance facilities in the country. It sits in Room 140A of the Kremen Education Building near the northwest corner of Shaw and Maple Avenues on the California State University, Fresno campus.

Despite the campus setting, the office serves the whole community — not just students — and is known for smooth, high-volume appointment scheduling. Agents accept DS-11 applications, check documents, and offer on-site passport photos during your appointment for a modest fee payable by card.

For families in north Fresno and Clovis it is often the most convenient option, and its long track record makes it a reassuring first stop for first-time applicants. Explore all three city choices on the Fresno passport page.

💡 Good to know

Find the office in Room 140A of the Kremen Education Building; campus visitor parking is available nearby, and the fullslate scheduler shows the next open appointments. Passport photos are offered on site for about $12 by debit or credit card, so you can skip a separate photo stop. As a State Department acceptance agent, staff seal and forward your packet but do not adjudicate the passport itself. If you need in-person help elsewhere in the region, browse the California acceptance offices.
