Ofallon Post Office Passport Services

Yes, parking is readily available for passport applicants at the Ofallon Post Office. There’s a free, dedicated 30-space lot situated directly behind the building, easily accessed from Civic Park Drive, just one block north of Church Street. This lot is generally ample for most visitors, though arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment is recommended, especially during the busy mid-morning hours between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Should the lot be full, you’ll also find abundant free two-hour street parking along Church Street and Elm Street, typically within a short one-block walking distance. The Post Office’s central location in Old Town Ofallon ensures convenient access to parking, making your visit as stress-free as possible.

Passport photos must adhere to strict U.S. Department of State guidelines to be accepted. For applications processed at the Ofallon Post Office, your photos need to be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. They must be in color, taken within the last six months, and printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper. Your full face needs to be visible, with a neutral facial expression or a natural smile, and both eyes open. Head coverings are generally not permitted unless for religious reasons, and glasses should be removed. While the Ofallon Post Office does not offer on-site photo services, there are several local pharmacies and photo centers within a mile, such as the Walgreens at 2200 Highway K, that can provide compliant passport photos for your appointment.

When applying for a passport at the Ofallon Post Office, it’s crucial to understand the payment requirements for the various fees involved. The passport application fee, which goes to the U.S. Department of State, must be paid by check or money order. They do not accept credit cards or cash for this specific fee. Make checks payable to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ For the execution fee, which is paid to the Post Office directly, you have more flexibility. This $35 fee can be paid by credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express), debit card, check, or money order. It’s always a good idea to bring multiple payment methods, especially a personal check or money order for the State Department fee, to ensure a smooth application process at the 401 CHURCH STREET location.

For passport services at the Ofallon Post Office, scheduling an appointment is strongly recommended and, in most cases, required. While some Post Offices might offer limited walk-in availability, the facility at 401 CHURCH STREET prioritizes scheduled appointments to ensure efficient processing and minimal wait times for all applicants. Attempting to walk in without an appointment, especially during peak hours (like weekday lunch breaks or Saturday mornings), is likely to result in significant delays or being asked to schedule a visit for another day. To guarantee your service and avoid any inconvenience, please use the online USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler or call the Post Office directly to secure a specific time slot for your passport application.

The cost of a U.S. passport consists of two separate fees when applying at the Ofallon Post Office: the application fee paid to the U.S. Department of State and the execution fee paid to the Post Office. For a standard adult passport book, the State Department fee is currently $130, payable by check or money order. The execution fee, paid to the Post Office, is $35 and can be paid by credit card, debit card, check, or money order. If you need a passport card, that’s an additional $30 (State Department) plus the $35 execution fee. For minors, the passport book fee is $100. Expedited processing, which can shorten the wait time considerably, incurs an additional $60 fee per application, plus any applicable express mail charges for faster delivery of your documents.

Parking at the Ofallon Post Office on Church Street offers both convenience and a few strategic considerations. The primary option is the dedicated, free 30-space parking lot located directly behind the building, accessible via Civic Park Drive, just one block north of Church Street. To reach this lot, if you’re traveling east on Church Street, turn left onto Civic Park Drive, and the lot entrance will be immediately on your right. While typically sufficient, this lot can fill quickly during peak hours, especially mid-morning on weekdays. For appointments, arriving 10-15 minutes prior is a sound strategy to secure a spot directly on-site. Alternatively, ample free two-hour street parking is available along Church Street and Elm Street, usually within 0.1 to 0.2 miles (about a one-block walk) from the Post Office entrance. There’s also a smaller municipal lot on Main Street, a block west, which often has openings. During summer months, Ofallon’s heat can be intense, so consider parking in the shade if possible to keep your car cooler. Conversely, in winter, be mindful of potential ice patches in the lot and on sidewalks, especially during early morning appointments; the lot is generally well-maintained but Missouri winters can be unpredictable.

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.
