Arizona State University (ASU) has recently expanded its services to include a new Passport Office on campus, making it more convenient for students and staff to obtain or renew their passports. The ASU Passport Office, located in the Student Services Building on the Tempe campus, offers a wide range of passport services, including application processing, photo services, and expedited processing options.
The idea for the ASU Passport Office came about as a way to provide a valuable and convenient service for the university community. With many students and staff members needing to travel internationally for research, study abroad programs, or personal reasons, having a dedicated passport office on campus makes the process of obtaining or renewing a passport much easier and more efficient.
“We are thrilled to offer this new service to our students and staff,” said Dr. Michael Crow, President of Arizona State University. “Traveling abroad can be a transformative experience, and we want to make sure that our community members have easy access to the necessary documentation to make their international journeys possible.”
The ASU Passport Office is staffed by knowledgeable and friendly professionals who are trained to assist with all aspects of the passport application process. From helping individuals fill out the required forms to taking passport photos that meet the strict guidelines set by the U.S. Department of State, the staff at the ASU Passport Office are dedicated to making the passport application process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
In addition to standard passport application services, the ASU Passport Office also offers expedited processing options for those who need their passports in a hurry. Whether it’s a last-minute study abroad program or an unexpected business trip, the ASU Passport Office can help expedite the passport application process to ensure that individuals receive their passports in time for their travel plans.
“We understand that sometimes travel plans can come up unexpectedly, and we are here to help our students and staff navigate the passport application process quickly and efficiently,” said Sarah Johnson, Director of the ASU Passport Office. “Our expedited processing options are designed to meet the needs of those who require their passports in a short amount of time.”
The ASU Passport Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, with extended hours during peak travel seasons. Appointments are recommended for passport application services, although walk-ins are welcome. The office also offers passport photos on a walk-in basis, making it easy for individuals to stop by and get their passport photos taken without an appointment.
In addition to providing passport services, the ASU Passport Office also offers information and resources for students and staff who are planning to travel abroad. From travel advisories to information on visa requirements, the ASU Passport Office is a one-stop shop for all things related to international travel.
“We want to make sure that our students and staff are well-prepared for their international travels,” said Johnson. “Whether it’s knowing which countries require a visa or understanding the latest travel advisories, we are here to provide the information and resources necessary to ensure a safe and enjoyable travel experience.”
Overall, the addition of the ASU Passport Office on campus has been met with enthusiasm and excitement from the university community. With its convenient location, knowledgeable staff, and expedited processing options, the ASU Passport Office is sure to become a valuable resource for students and staff members who need to obtain or renew their passports.

Now, with the ASU Passport Office just a short walk away, I feel much more confident about pursuing my dream of studying abroad.”
