A U.S. passport is the key to international travel. NC State is now an official passport acceptance facility open to students, employees and the public.
For Americans traveling outside the United States, the U.S. passport is the only singular document that serves as both identification and proof of U.S. citizenship and is recognized around the world. NC State’s new Passport Services office is pleased to serve campus and the surrounding regions by providing a vital service to the community.
