Getting a passport in Scottsdale
For Scottsdale, the nearest agency is the Western Passport Center in Tucson, about 110 miles southeast, which, like San Diego's about 305 miles away, only handles departures within 14 days or visas due within 28. For a routine first passport, the City of Scottsdale runs a passport office in its tax and license office at 7447 E Indian School Rd, Suite 110, by appointment. The Scottsdale Post Office on N Scottsdale Rd books passport appointments six days a week, and Arizona State University's passport office in Tempe is open to the public by appointment. In Arizona, birth records are closed for 75 years, so you must meet the relationship rules and show ID. Maricopa County's vital registration offices, the closest being Central Valley on E Roosevelt St in Phoenix, issue Arizona certificates in person, usually during the visit. Mesa, Phoenix and Chandler have their own pages.
