Local overview
Getting a passport in Glendale
The Western Passport Center in Tucson, about 120 miles southeast, is the nearest agency to Glendale, with San Diego's next at about 290; both handle only travel within 14 days or visas needed within 28. For an ordinary first passport, the Glendale Post Office at 5955 W Peoria Ave schedules passport appointments, and the Maryvale Post Office in Phoenix does as well. Surprise City Hall's clerk takes appointments too. Arizona birth records stay closed for 75 years, so only people who meet the state's relationship rules can order a copy, with ID. Maricopa County's vital registration office in Glendale, on W Lamar Rd, issues Arizona birth certificates in person, usually during the visit, and the county's Northwest Valley office in Peoria offers the same service. Our pages for Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Mesa cover the rest of the Valley.
