Local overview
Getting a passport in Santa Fe
Santa Fe's nearest agencies are the El Paso Passport Agency, about 265 miles south, and the Colorado Passport Agency in Centennial, about 280 miles north. Both reserve appointments for international travel within 14 days or a foreign visa needed within 28. For a routine first passport, the Santa Fe Post Office at 120 S Federal Pl schedules passport appointments, and the Glorieta post office at 13 Calle Lomita, about 13 miles away, does too. For birth certificates, the New Mexico Bureau of Vital Records is in Santa Fe itself, at 2554 Camino Entrada, and issues a certified copy of any New Mexico birth; many public health offices around the state also issue them. No New Mexico agency is planned, so urgent travel from Santa Fe requires a trip to Texas or Colorado.
