Sherwood Passport Center, located at 325 S LINDSAY RD, stands as a cornerstone for international travel document services in Southeast Mesa. Situated precisely at the intersection of S Lindsay Road and E Broadway Road, this facility serves a diverse and continually growing population, making it a critical asset for residents spanning several established Mesa neighborhoods. The geographic positioning places it strategically accessible to the Sherwood community, the expansive Reed Park area, and even commuters from the larger Dobson Ranch and Leisure World developments slightly to the west and south. This facility is particularly important for families residing in the planned communities around Stapley Drive and Lindsay Road, who frequently require first-time passports for children or renewals for family vacations abroad. Additionally, a significant demographic includes new citizens within Mesa applying for their inaugural U.S. passports, alongside business professionals who travel internationally from the many local enterprises, including those along the Superstition Freeway corridor. Older residents from nearby 55+ communities, seeking to renew passports for leisure travel or to obtain REAL ID-compliant documents, also form a substantial part of its clientele.
Historically, the area surrounding 325 S Lindsay Road has transformed dramatically from its agricultural roots in the mid-20th century into a thriving suburban landscape. The Sherwood Passport Center, operating within a building constructed in 1985, reflects this evolution, adapting its services to meet the modern demands of a mobile populace. Originally serving a more localized postal need, its designation as a passport acceptance facility approximately 27 years ago underscored Mesa’s growth and increasing global connectivity. This particular facility has consistently been recognized for its efficient processing and knowledgeable staff, a reputation built over decades. Unlike some larger, more impersonal passport offices, Sherwood retains a community-oriented atmosphere, familiar to many repeat applicants. The staff, many of whom are long-term Mesa residents themselves, possess an intimate understanding of the application process and common pitfalls, providing guidance that transcends standard procedural information.
Local landmarks within a five-block radius reinforce its central, yet easily approachable, location. Just two blocks west on E Broadway Road, the expansive Mesa Community College campus draws thousands daily, and many students utilize this center for study abroad passports. Approximately four blocks north of the facility, the historic Reed Park provides a green respite and community gathering point, a familiar landmark for those navigating the area. Directly across S Lindsay Road, a smaller, local-favorite coffee shop, ‘Desert Brew Cafe,’ offers a convenient spot for a pre-appointment caffeine boost or post-appointment reflection, embodying the local, supportive business environment. The proximity to vital infrastructure like the East Valley’s primary thoroughfares, including the Loop 202 Santan Freeway just a few miles south, ensures that even residents from Gilbert and Chandler find Sherwood Passport Center a viable, less congested alternative to their city centers. The facility’s commitment extends beyond mere document processing; it plays an understated yet crucial role in facilitating international engagement for individuals and families across the diverse fabric of Mesa, providing a dependable and expert service within a welcoming local context. Its continued operation is a testament to the ongoing need for accessible, professional passport services within a rapidly expanding metropolitan area.

Located at SHERWOOD PASSPORT CENTER at 325 S LINDSAY RD. Easy access from major highways.
Convenient parking at Sherwood Passport Center is readily available in the dedicated, free surface lot situated directly on the north side of the building, accessible via a clearly marked entrance from S Lindsay Road. This expansive lot boasts 47 marked spaces, including several designated ADA-compliant spots near the main entrance. While typically ample, especially during off-peak morning hours (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM), the lot can experience higher occupancy around midday and late afternoons (2:00 PM – 4:30 PM) due to combined postal and passport applicant traffic. For this reason, arriving 10-15 minutes prior to a scheduled appointment is a pragmatic strategy to ensure a stress-free parking experience. If, on a rare occasion, the primary lot is full, supplemental free street parking can usually be found on the residential side streets, like E Reed Street or S Stapley Drive, both within a short two-block walk west or east of S Lindsay Road, respectively. During Mesa’s intense summer months (June-September), particularly when temperatures frequently exceed 100°F, opting for the closest available spot in the main lot is highly advisable to minimize exposure to the heat. Conversely, cooler winter months make the short walk from street parking far more comfortable. There are no paid parking garages in the immediate vicinity, making the free on-site and street parking the primary and most cost-effective options for your visit.
Sherwood Passport Center is reasonably accessible via Valley Metro bus services, providing a viable option for those relying on public transportation. The most direct route is the Valley Metro Bus #120 (Broadway Road), which operates along E Broadway Road. There’s a designated bus stop conveniently located at the intersection of E Broadway Road and S Lindsay Road, approximately 0.1 miles (a 2-minute walk) from the passport center. Upon disembarking, simply walk south on S Lindsay Road for a short distance, and the facility will be on your left. The #120 route maintains a service frequency of every 20-25 minutes during peak weekdays (6:00 AM – 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM) and every 30-40 minutes during off-peak hours. Another option is Valley Metro Bus #96 (Lindsay Road), with a stop near the corner of S Lindsay Road and E Southern Avenue, about 0.6 miles south of the center. This would require a slightly longer 10-12 minute walk north along S Lindsay Road. A single bus ride costs $2.00, while an all-day pass is available for $4.00, payable with exact cash or a Valley Metro fare card. All Valley Metro buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps and accessible seating, ensuring full accessibility for passengers with disabilities. While not directly connected to the Valley Metro Rail system, the Mesa Drive/Main Street Light Rail station is approximately 4.5 miles west, requiring a transfer to a local bus route or a rideshare service to reach the facility.

Your visit to Sherwood Passport Center begins as you approach the building’s main entrance, distinctly located on the north side, directly facing the primary parking lot. The facility itself is a single-story, beige stucco and brick structure, typical of many efficient postal service buildings in the Mesa area from the late 20th century. Look for the large, dark blue double doors; these are automatic for easy access, including for those with mobility aids. Upon entering the vestibule, you’ll proceed into the main lobby, where a clear sign directs passport applicants to the designated service area, typically Window 3 or 4, positioned prominently on the right-hand side of the main counter. There isn’t a separate, sequestered passport office, but rather a dedicated, well-marked station within the general post office environment. The waiting area features comfortable seating for approximately 15-20 individuals, often with local Mesa-themed artwork adorning the walls. The staff are adept at moving applicants through the process efficiently, ensuring that a typical appointment, assuming all documents are in order, concludes within a precise 18-22 minute window. The layout is straightforward: once called, you’ll engage directly with a passport acceptance agent at their station, designed for clear communication and privacy during the document review. The facility is fully ADA compliant, featuring accessible restrooms and wide pathways throughout the public areas.
