Ready, set, passport!

It’s no secret that the Ram community is a global one. From education abroad experiences to international research to global partnerships, Colorado State University reaches the far corners of the world.

The Passport Acceptance Facility, located in the Office of International Programs, seeks to make access to those international experiences easier. You can apply for a U.S. passport right on CSU’s campus. Serving both the CSU community and the general public, our team can answer questions, process documents and even take your passport photo for you.
