From MSU News Service
Montana State University will soon open a new passport office to serve students, employees and members of the community.
The new office, in 114 Culbertson Hall, will open July 18th. 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 8:30am until 2:30pm. Appointments are strongly encouraged and may be made by calling (406) 994-3311 or visiting www.montana.edu/mail/passports.
MSU is one of a small but growing number of universities that are beginning to offer a passport office. Jennie Miller, manager of MSU Mail Services, said the office is a way 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.
