Texas State University has been officially designated as a U.S. Passport Acceptance Facility by the U.S. Department of State. As such, our acceptance agents are authorized to receive and execute your application for a U.S. passport book and/or passport card. It is also important to understand that only the U.S. Department of State can determine eligibility for a U.S. passport.

This Facility is designated to help process your new, lost or stolen, or minor U.S. passport applications using the DS-11 application only. For those renewing their active U.S. passport, you do not need to make an appointment. For renewals, simply mail in the renewal application (DS-82) and the supporting materials via the U.S. Postal Service. To determine if you are a renewal, answer the screening questions on the first page of the (DS-82). Detailed instructions can be found online here.
