Local overview
Getting a passport in Riverside
Two agencies are within reach of Riverside, the Los Angeles Passport Agency about 60 miles west and San Diego's about 80 miles south, though both limit appointments to travel within 14 days or a visa needed within 28. For a routine first passport, the City of Riverside's City Clerk runs an acceptance facility at the Public Utilities Customer Resource Center, 3025 Madison St, with appointments and some walk-in capacity. The Downtown Riverside post office on Orange St, the Riverside post office on Chicago Ave and the Arlington post office on Hole Ave schedule passport appointments as well. A California birth certificate is issued by the county where the birth happened, and for Riverside County births the Assessor-County Clerk-Recorder's downtown office at 4080 Lemon St handles them. Our pages for Jurupa Valley, Moreno Valley, Corona and Rialto cover nearby cities.
