passport office
Document issuance agency
A passport office is a government facility where citizens apply for, renew, or receive passports.
The term covers both national agencies and their local branches: I spent three hours at the passport office getting my renewal processed.
In urgent situations, travelers may visit a passport office for expedited service before international trips.
