Uspo – Limon Passport Services

No, the Uspo – Limon facility does not offer on-site passport photo services. Applicants are required to bring two identical, color passport-compliant photographs with them to their scheduled appointment. We highly recommend having these photos taken professionally at a location such as Walgreens or Walmart in larger towns like Burlington or Colorado Springs before you visit, or at a local photography studio if available. Ensure the photos meet all U.S. Department of State requirements for size (2×2 inches), background (plain white or off-white), and recency (taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance). Taking care of photos beforehand streamlines your application process here in Limon.

When applying for a passport at Uspo – Limon, there are two distinct fee components, each with specific payment requirements. The passport application fee, payable directly to the U.S. Department of State, must be submitted via check or money order. Personal checks, certified checks, cashier’s checks, and postal money orders are all acceptable, and they should be made out to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ The separate execution fee, which is for the Uspo – Limon facility’s service in accepting your application, can be paid with a personal check, money order, or by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express). Cash is generally not accepted for the execution fee, so plan accordingly to ensure a smooth transaction when you arrive for your appointment on F Avenue.

Unfortunately, the Uspo – Limon branch does not currently have the equipment or staffing to provide passport photo services directly at our 250 F Avenue location. This is a common arrangement for many smaller postal facilities across Colorado. Therefore, you will need to obtain two recent, color passport-compliant photographs prior to your appointment. Many applicants from Limon find it convenient to get these done at chain pharmacies or photo studios in larger towns when they are already running errands. Just make sure the photos are exactly 2×2 inches, printed on matte or glossy photo paper, and have a white or off-white background, without shadows or glare. Having them ready ensures your application can be processed without delay.

Yes, absolutely. For all passport applications involving minors under the age of 16, an appointment is strictly required at the Uspo – Limon facility. Furthermore, both parents or legal guardians must be present with the minor during the entire appointment. They must bring their valid government-issued identification, proof of parental relationship (such as the minor’s original birth certificate), and the minor’s previous passport if applicable. If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized consent form (Form DS-3053). These requirements are in place to prevent international child abduction and ensure the safety of minors traveling abroad. We prioritize these appointments to ensure full compliance with federal regulations.

For a U.S. passport application at Uspo – Limon, your photographs must strictly adhere to federal guidelines: they must be exactly 2×2 inches (51 x 51 mm) in size. The image of your head, from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head, should measure between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm to 35 mm). This ensures proper facial recognition and adherence to international travel document standards. Make sure the photos are in color, taken within the last six months, and printed on quality photo paper with a white or off-white background. Providing correctly sized photos is a critical step, as incorrect dimensions will lead to application delays or rejection.

Parking for the Uspo – Limon facility is straightforward and generally ample, even during peak operational hours. The most convenient option is the dedicated, free 15-space asphalt parking lot located directly behind the building, accessible via an unmarked alleyway that runs parallel to F Avenue, between F and G Avenues. You can enter this alley from either 1st Street or 2nd Street. This lot offers direct rear access to the post office via a clearly marked employee/customer entrance, which leads straight into the main lobby near the service counters, minimizing your walking distance to under 50 feet. For those who prefer street parking, free two-hour street parking is readily available along F Avenue directly in front of the building. These 8-10 parallel spaces are usually sufficient, except perhaps during the busiest mid-morning postal rushes. Additionally, the First National Bank of Hugo, located adjacent to the post office at 981 2nd Street, often has available parking in their smaller 10-space lot, especially outside of banking hours; however, this is primarily for bank patrons. During appointment times, aiming for the rear lot is your best strategy. In winter months, particularly from December through February, Limon experiences significant snowfall and icy conditions; the rear lot is typically cleared first, offering a safer and less slick surface than street parking. Conversely, during summer (July-August), the afternoon sun can be intense; the eastern side of the rear lot may offer some shade from the adjacent bank building, which is beneficial for keeping your vehicle cooler during your 20-minute appointment.

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.

If you’re traveling soon, our expedited service can get your passport in as little as 3 days. We handle everything from document review to delivery, with 24/7 support. Call 800-860-8610 to get started.
