📖 About this office
The Dorris Van Doren Regional Public Library on Redd Road serves far west El Paso and is one of four city library branches authorized to accept passport applications. Certified staff execute the DS-11 for first-time adults and children and can take the required passport photo on site.
The draw here is simplicity: applications are handled on a first-come, first-served walk-in basis, so there is no appointment to schedule. Families in the Upper Valley and west-side neighborhoods often pair a passport visit with a regular library errand.
If the west side is out of your way, the full El Paso list includes downtown and east-side counters, and the Texas guide reaches nearby communities across the county line.
💡 Good to know
Passport processing at the branch stops at 4:30 PM even when the library stays open later, so arrive with time to spare. Bring your citizenship document, a photo ID and a copy, and payment for the government fees plus the optional photo fee. For an appointment-based option, the El Paso Main Post Office handles east-side applicants.
