The Office of International Programs serves as a Passport Acceptance Facility for the UT Tyler community and the general public. OIP is authorized by the U.S. Department of State to execute and mail-in Form DS-11 passport applications. Passport and immigration-style photos are available for purchase separately, providing a convenient service to anyone filing a government application, including international students applying for practical training authorizations. 

Located conveniently at UT Tyler, our full service, no appointment/walk-in only Passport Acceptance Facility has served the East Texas community since October 2015. We are authorized by the U.S. Department of State to execute and mail-in only DS-11 form passport applications, and can provide guidance for those using other application forms. We also provide photos for other passport applications, visa applications, or international students on OPT.

We are open to the public and happily serve our students, faculty and staff, East Texas community, state, and surrounding-state citizens. 

For the time being, we are not accepting walk-in applicants. You MUST make an appointment prior to coming in. Please make an appointment to apply for a passport that is first time, minor, previous passport lost/stolen, or previous passport expired over 5 years ago here. If using another application form, please follow instructions on the form and as provided by the Department of State. Thank you!
