📖 About this office
Operated by the City of Hemet, the Hemet Public Library on East Latham Avenue serves as the city's second passport acceptance point and a useful alternative when the Post Office is booked solid. As a municipal government facility it remains authorized to verify identity, witness your signature, and forward completed applications to the U.S. Department of State, covering first-time applicants, children, and passport replacements alike.
Passport service runs on set weekday and weekend windows by appointment, which makes the library a good fit if a Saturday slot suits your schedule better. Photos are not offered here, so bring a compliant one with you or have it taken first at the nearby Post Office. The library is listed with the rest of the state's offices on our California passport directory.
💡 Good to know
Because no walk-ins are taken, reserve a slot by phone or through the city's passport page first. The library does not take photos, so arrive with a regulation photo already in hand. Combined with the Post Office option, Hemet gives residents flexible weekday and weekend coverage without leaving town.
