Passport Acceptance Offices in Littleton, Colorado

Littleton anchors the southern edge of the Denver metro in Arapahoe County, and its two passport acceptance offices sit within a few blocks of each other along South Prince Street near the historic downtown core. That makes applying convenient whether you arrive by car or ride the light rail into old-town Littleton.

First-time applicants and families with children have two solid choices. The Arapahoe County Clerk and Recorder tends to be the higher-volume option and runs a self-service photo booth, while the Littleton Post Office is handy if you also need to mail documents the same day. Both act as acceptance agents that forward sealed applications to the State Department, and both operate strictly by appointment.

Littleton residents are unusually close to a federal facility: the Colorado Passport Agency in nearby Centennial is only a short drive east, though it serves travelers with urgent trips within 14 days and requires its own appointment. For routine applications, the two local acceptance offices are the everyday answer.

Book early in spring and summer, gather your citizenship proof and photo ID before you go, and you can usually wrap up an application in a single visit. Explore more choices across the state on our Colorado passport offices guide.

Both Littleton acceptance offices require appointments booked online, and slots can disappear fast during peak travel months, so reserve well ahead. A child under 16 must appear with both parents or legal guardians and their consent. If you have international travel inside two weeks, the Colorado Passport Agency in Centennial handles urgent cases by appointment rather than these local offices.
