📖 About this office
Tennessee State University hosts a passport acceptance office on its north Nashville campus at 3500 John A. Merritt Boulevard, ZIP 37209. As a designated acceptance facility, it serves not only TSU students, faculty, and staff planning study-abroad terms or international research but also members of the surrounding community who find the campus location convenient.
The office accepts first-time adult and minor passport applications, reviews your citizenship and identity documents, and sends the completed packet to the State Department for processing. Visits are by appointment only, arranged through the campus office, so call ahead to reserve a time and confirm which days the passport window is staffed during the academic calendar.
Students juggling class schedules often find an on-campus slot easier than a downtown trip; anyone off campus can weigh it against the government and postal counters listed on our Nashville passport guide.
💡 Good to know
Because the office runs on a university schedule, availability can thin out during breaks and exam weeks, so book ahead. Bring proof of citizenship, a photo ID, and payment for the federal fee. Parking on campus may require a visitor pass. If the academic calendar leaves no open slots, the other Nashville acceptance offices operate year-round.
