📖 About this office
The City of Lompoc runs its own passport acceptance service through Parks & Recreation, based at the Anderson Recreation Center at 125 West Walnut Avenue. It gives residents a municipal alternative to the post office, staffed by city employees who are designated acceptance agents for the U.S. Department of State.
This office is a practical choice for families, because the recreation center setting is easy to reach and the city publishes clear guidance on what to bring. Staff process new adult applications, minor applications where the child appears in person, and replacements for lost or stolen books, then forward the sealed packet to the State Department for adjudication.
Compared with the Postal Service branch a few blocks away, the city office keeps limited walk-in windows alongside scheduled slots, so it can be the quicker option on the right day. If your timing doesn't line up, the full list of Lompoc acceptance offices makes it easy to pivot to another counter.
💡 Good to know
Arrive with a completed but unsigned DS-11, original proof of citizenship, and a valid photo ID with a photocopy; minors need both parents or the correct consent paperwork. Fees to the city and to the State Department are collected separately, so ask about accepted payment methods when you call ahead.
