Getting a passport in New Mexico
New Mexico has no State Department passport agency, but the El Paso Passport Agency sits just across the Texas line and is the closest for most of the state. Most New Mexicans apply for a first passport at a post office or another acceptance facility. For urgent travel you can book an agency appointment or use a registered courier such as Allstate Passports & Visas. This page covers 7 New Mexico cities, explains each option, and shows where to get a New Mexico birth certificate for just $10.
Acceptance facilities in New Mexico
First passports, children's passports and replacements for lost or stolen passports are handled in person at acceptance facilities, mostly post offices and some county offices in New Mexico. Many take appointments. The city pages above list the facilities near you.
Bring Form DS-11 unsigned, a certified birth certificate or other proof of citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and one passport photo. The passport fee goes to the U.S. Department of State and the execution fee to the facility.
