Local overview
Getting a passport in Irvine
Orange County sits between two agencies: from Irvine, the Los Angeles Passport Agency is about 44 miles away and San Diego's about 70, and both reserve appointments for travel within 14 days or a foreign visa needed within 28. For a routine first passport, Irvine has several acceptance facilities. The Northwood Post Office on League and the Harvest Post Office on Murphy Ave schedule passport appointments, and UC Irvine Passport Services at 111 Theory, Suite 190, is open by appointment. The Orange County Clerk-Recorder's South County Branch on El Toro Rd in Laguna Hills accepts passport applications too, and the same branch issues birth certificates for Orange County births. California's state office has no public counter, so a birth in another county means contacting that county. We also publish pages for Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Mission Viejo.
