- ▸Crucial Distinction: There is NO federal same-day passport printing agency in downtown Phoenix. Phoenix post offices only mail applications out. You must book your urgent appointment at the Western Passport Center in Tucson (7373 E Rosewood St, ~1 hr 45 mins down I-10).
- ▸Because Tucson is a major national production hub, it has far better appointment availability and faster onsite printing than many coastal agencies.
- ▸Arizona observes Mountain Standard Time (MST) year-round without Daylight Saving Time.
Border, Cruise & Air Gate Note: Flights from PHX or TUS to Mexico (Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancún, Mexico City) require a U.S. Passport Book; land crossings at Nogales or Lukeville accept either a Passport Book or Passport Card.
