Sedona Post Office Passport Services

While the Sedona Post Office at 190 W. STATE ROUTE 89A is an acceptance facility for *new* passport applications (Form DS-11), most adult passport renewals (Form DS-82) are handled by mail directly to the U.S. Department of State. You can typically renew your passport by mail if your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years, and you can submit it with your application. However, if you do not meet these criteria—for instance, if your previous passport was issued when you were under 16, or if it’s damaged—you would need to apply in person with a Form DS-11, just like a first-time applicant. The postal clerks at the Sedona facility are available to review your specific situation and provide guidance on whether you qualify for mail-in renewal or if an in-person application is necessary.

To ensure a smooth passport application process at the Sedona Post Office, you’ll need to gather several key documents. For proof of U.S. citizenship, bring your original birth certificate (issued by the city, county, or state), a previous undamaged U.S. passport, or a Certificate of Naturalization. For proof of identity, a valid, government-issued photo ID such as an Arizona driver’s license or a military ID is required. Additionally, you must provide a recent color passport photo (taken within the last six months, 2×2 inches, white background), or you can have one taken on-site for a $15 fee. Don’t forget the completed (but unsigned) DS-11 Passport Application form, which you can print from the State Department website. The clerks at 190 W. STATE ROUTE 89A will help you review everything before you sign the form under oath.

Yes, appointments are absolutely required for all minor passport applications at the Sedona Post Office, and there are specific requirements to fulfill. For any child under 16, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the minor, bringing their own valid government-issued photo IDs and proof of their parental relationship (e.g., birth certificate listing both parents, court order). The child must also be present. If one parent cannot attend, they must provide a notarized consent form (DS-3053) along with a copy of their ID. For minors aged 16 or 17, only one parent is required to appear in person with the minor, or the minor can present their own valid ID along with a signed consent statement from at least one parent (or parental presence). The team at 190 W. STATE ROUTE 89A strongly advises confirming all requirements beforehand to avoid delays.

The total cost for a passport application at the Sedona Post Office involves two separate fees. The first is the application fee, payable directly to the U.S. Department of State by check or money order only. As of November 2024, a passport book costs $130 for adults and $100 for minors. A passport card, suitable for land and sea travel to certain adjacent territories, costs $30 for adults and $15 for minors. The second fee is the acceptance facility fee of $35, which is paid separately to the USPS at the time of your appointment. This fee can typically be paid by cash, credit/debit card, check, or money order. If you opt for an on-site photo, that’s an additional $15. Expedited service is available for an extra $60 fee to the State Department, plus potential express mail costs.

Yes, securing an appointment is highly recommended and, in most cases, required for submitting new passport applications (Form DS-11) at the Sedona Post Office on W. STATE ROUTE 89A. While some post offices may offer limited walk-in availability, the Sedona location, particularly given its staffing and volume, primarily operates by appointment to ensure each applicant receives dedicated attention and federal guidelines are meticulously followed. Attempting a walk-in without prior scheduling can lead to significant waiting times or being turned away due to a fully booked schedule or insufficient available clerks. The most efficient way to apply is to schedule your visit in advance through the USPS online appointment scheduler or by calling the Sedona Post Office directly to confirm their specific passport service hours and availability.

Parking at the Sedona Post Office, located at 190 W. STATE ROUTE 89A, is generally convenient with a dedicated, free on-site lot immediately adjacent to the building. This paved lot, accessible directly from State Route 89A, provides approximately 30 marked spaces, including several designated for accessible parking near the main entrance. For most passport appointments, which are scheduled, finding a space within this lot is usually straightforward, especially outside of peak mail hours (10:00 AM – 11:30 AM and 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM). Should the main lot be unexpectedly full, particularly during the high tourist season from March to May or September to November, limited street parking can sometimes be found along Brewer Road, just one block east of the post office, though this is primarily for nearby businesses and not guaranteed. There are no paid parking garages directly within a block or two, as Sedona prioritizes surface lots. Your best strategy is to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment to secure a spot in the primary lot. Consider seasonal variations: during the summer months (June-August), temperatures often exceed 100°F, so parking closer to the entrance is preferable to minimize walking in direct sun. In winter (December-February), while heavy snowfall is rare, morning frosts can occur, making surfaces slick. Always use caution. The lot is well-maintained but does not offer covered parking.

No, passport renewals cannot be done at acceptance facilities. Renewals must be mailed directly to the State Department using Form DS-82, or you can use our expedited renewal service.
