Passport Acceptance Offices in Beaverton, Oregon

Beaverton sits in the heart of Washington County, just west of Portland, and it punches above its weight when it comes to passport services: two fully authorized acceptance facilities serve the city, covering both the municipal and postal routes for first-time applicants and families with minors. That means you have a genuine choice rather than a single default option.

The City of Beaverton Finance Department at Millikan Way is the more distinctive pick — a municipal office with city staff trained by the State Department, MAX-accessible, and open Monday through Friday. Its key quirk is payment: checks and money orders only, no cards or cash. The Beaverton Post Office on SW Betts Avenue is the familiar USPS route, operating by appointment through the USPS scheduler (tools.usps.com), with a slightly different fee-splitting structure (one payment to State, one to USPS).

Neither facility can issue a passport on the spot — applications are forwarded to a State Department processing center, with standard turnaround of several weeks. Beaverton residents who need a passport in a hurry and have international travel within 14 days should contact the Seattle Passport Agency at 300 5th Avenue, Suite 600, Seattle — roughly 130 miles and about two hours north via I-5 — through the national line at 1-877-487-2778. Oregon has no dedicated passport agency of its own, so Seattle is the closest option for urgent issuance.

For a broader view of acceptance locations across the state, the Oregon passport acceptance guide maps the full network, from Portland-area facilities to rural county clerks.

Oregon does not have a dedicated passport agency within the state — the Seattle Passport Agency is the closest regional office for urgent issuance needs (appointments required, travel within 14 days). For standard applications, Beaverton's two acceptance facilities are a reliable starting point; book appointments early in spring and summer, when demand across the Portland metro area spikes. The Beaverton city page lists current office details, and the Oregon state guide covers acceptance locations beyond Washington County.
