Uspo – Arvada Passport Services

For a passport application at the Uspo – Arvada facility, you’ll need several key documents. This includes proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your original birth certificate or a previous, undamaged passport. You must also bring a valid government-issued photo identification, like a Colorado driver’s license or state ID card. Additionally, a photocopy (front and back) of your citizenship document and ID is required, though the facility might offer copying services for a small fee of $0.50 per page. Remember to bring one recent color passport photograph, sized 2×2 inches, taken within the last six months, and your completed, but unsigned, DS-11 application form. Lastly, bring payment for the application fees, which must be a check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State, and a separate payment for the $35 execution fee, which can be paid to the Uspo – Arvada via check, money order, or credit card.

Yes, expedited service is available for passport applications processed at the Uspo – Arvada. If you have urgent travel plans, you can request expedited processing for an additional fee of $60 per application, payable to the U.S. Department of State. This significantly reduces the processing time compared to routine service. You can also opt for 1-2 day delivery for your completed passport book for an extra $19.53, though this fee is also paid to the Department of State, not directly to the Arvada Post Office. Be sure to clearly mark your application for expedited service and inform the postal clerk during your appointment at 5885 Allison Street. While the facility itself does not control the processing speed, they will ensure your application is properly marked and dispatched for the fastest possible turnaround.

Absolutely, ample parking is a convenience for visitors to the Uspo – Arvada facility. There’s a dedicated, free parking lot situated directly in front of the building on Allison Street, offering about 35 spaces. Most applicants find a spot without issue, particularly during mid-day hours. If, by chance, the main lot is full, you can usually find additional free two-hour street parking along 58th Avenue, which is just one block south of the post office. This makes it quite simple to manage parking for your passport appointment. No need to worry about meters or expensive garage fees when visiting this location; it’s designed for community accessibility.

After submitting your application at the Uspo – Arvada, you can track its status online through the official Department of State website. You will need your last name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number to access the tracking system. It typically takes 7 to 10 business days from your appointment at 5885 Allison Street for your application to be entered into the system and become trackable. The tracking tool will provide updates on whether your application is ‘In Process,’ ‘Approved,’ or ‘Mailed.’ Remember to note your application locator number, which is usually provided on the receipt given to you by the postal clerk, although it is not strictly necessary for online tracking. This system provides peace of mind while your travel document is being processed.

Regarding payment for your passport application at the Uspo – Arvada, credit cards are accepted for the $35 execution fee that is paid directly to the Post Office. You can use major credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover for this portion of the cost. However, the larger passport application fee, which is payable to the U.S. Department of State, must be submitted in the form of a check or money order. Cash payments are not accepted for the Department of State fees, so be prepared with the correct payment methods for each component of your application during your visit to 5885 Allison Street. Ensuring you have both a check or money order and a credit card or exact cash for the execution fee will streamline your appointment considerably.

Parking at the Uspo – Arvada facility at 5885 ALLISON STREET is straightforward and generally convenient. A dedicated, free parking lot with approximately 35 spaces is situated directly in front of the building, accessible directly from Allison Street. This on-site lot usually has ample availability, especially during mid-morning or early afternoon hours. For those arriving during peak times, such as around lunchtime (11:30 AM – 1:00 PM) or immediately after work (4:00 PM – 5:00 PM), finding a spot might require a brief wait, but the turnover is relatively quick. The lot is well-maintained and provides direct, level access to the main entrance, making it highly accessible for all visitors. Should the main lot be full, visitors can typically find additional free two-hour street parking along 58th Avenue, just one block south of the facility. This offers a viable overflow option, requiring only a short two-minute walk (approximately 0.15 miles) back to the Uspo entrance. There are no paid parking garages or metered street parking zones in the immediate vicinity, eliminating the concern for hourly fees. When planning your visit during the winter months, be mindful of potential snow and ice accumulation in the lot and on nearby sidewalks, especially after a storm, and consider allowing an extra five minutes for safe navigation. During the summer, the exposed lot can get quite warm, so arriving a few minutes early to secure a closer spot is advisable.
