Montana State University to Open New Passport Office

The new office, in 114 Culbertson Hall, will open July 18. At the office, customers may apply for a new passport, renew a passport or update a passport with a new name.

People of all ages, including minors, may use the office for their passport needs. Customers may also have passport photos taken in the office for $10. Culbertson Hall is located on Harrison Street between 8th and 11th avenues.

Passport applications will be accepted at the office Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Appointments are strongly encouraged and may be made by phone by calling 994-3311 or online.

MSU is one of a small but growing number of universities that are beginning to offer a passport office in an effort to provide more services to a diverse community.

The new office also supports the university’s mission, according to Frank Stock, operations manager with MSU Facilities Services.

“This office will help support access to international programs,” Stock said. “It also supports the university’s diversity efforts and community engagement.” The office is intended to serve both the MSU community and the Gallatin Valley community, he added.
