Local questions from ANKENY residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

While the Ankeny Post Office sometimes accepts walk-ins for passport services, it’s highly recommended to schedule an appointment online at USPS.com/passports to ensure you’re seen promptly. Appointments help manage wait times, especially given the facility’s popularity among Ankeny residents seeking new passports.

When visiting the Ankeny Post Office for a passport application, remember to bring your completed (but unsigned) DS-11 form, original proof of U.S. citizenship (like your birth certificate), a valid government-issued photo ID, and two identical passport photos.

The execution fee, currently $35, can be paid by credit/debit card, check, or money order directly at the Ankeny Post Office counter.

Once your application is accepted at the Ankeny Post Office, it’s then mailed to the State Department for processing, which currently ranges from 8-11 weeks for routine service.

Passport acceptance hours at the Ankeny Post Office are generally Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, though these can vary.
