IMPORTANT NOTICE
Beginning June 22, 2012 an Interstate 405 construction project will close the Wilshire Boulevard on-ramps and off-ramps closest to the Los Angeles Passport Agency for approximately 90 days, through the end of September, 2012.

During this time, it is advised that commuters on the 405 take the eastbound Santa Monica Boulevard exit, then turn left onto Sepulveda Boulevard and continue northward for approximately half a mile; the Los Angeles Passport Agency will be on your right at Wilshire Boulevard.

Ramp closures are expected to cause significant traffic that will delay you in reaching the agency. Please plan accordingly.

Detour routes may change. We strongly recommend leaving early and checking traffic conditions to arrive in time for your scheduled appointment. Real-time traffic conditions may be monitored at Go511. For the latest updates on the I-405 construction project please visit LA Metro.

Parking

The West LA Federal Building has free three-hour visitor parking available towards the Veteran Avenue side of the building. Parking rates are subject to change without notice.
