“We recognize the importance of having a valid passport for travel and other purposes,” said Dr. Susan Martin, Vice Chancellor for Administration at UTK. “By offering passport services on campus, we hope to make the process more accessible and user-friendly for our students, faculty, and staff.”
The UTK passport services program will be overseen by a dedicated team of specialists who are well-versed in the intricacies of passport applications. From filling out forms to obtaining necessary documentation, these experts will provide step-by-step guidance to ensure that each applicant completes the process accurately and efficiently.
“We understand that applying for a passport can be a daunting task, especially for those who are doing so for the first time,” said Sarah Thompson, Director of Passport Services at UTK. “Our goal is to demystify the process and provide the support needed to get individuals through it with confidence and ease.”
In addition to assisting with new applications, the UTK passport services program will also offer support for passport renewals, name changes, and other common passport-related tasks. By providing a comprehensive range of services, UTK aims to meet the diverse needs of its community members and help them navigate the bureaucratic requirements of passport issuance.
To access UTK passport services, individuals can make an appointment with the passport services office, located on the university campus. During their appointment, applicants will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a passport specialist who will guide them through the application process and answer any questions they may have.

I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of passport assistance.”
