People Also Ask About COLBY POST OFFICE

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

While the COLBY POST OFFICE does accept walk-ins for passport services, scheduling an appointment is highly recommended to minimize wait times. This ensures a dedicated slot and allows the staff to prepare for your specific application needs, providing a smoother experience for Colby residents.

You must bring your completed but unsigned DS-11 form, proof of U.S. citizenship (like your original birth certificate or previous passport), valid photo identification, and a compliant passport photo. The COLBY POST OFFICE acceptance agent will need to verify all these originals during your visit, so ensure you have them all.

For the passport application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State, a personal check or money order is typically required. The separate $35 acceptance fee for the COLBY POST OFFICE can often be paid by check, money order, or sometimes debit/credit card, but it’s always safest to have a check ready for both portions.

Standard processing times for passports fluctuate, but typically range from 6-8 weeks from the date the application is received by the State Department, not from your visit to the COLBY POST OFFICE. For the most current estimates and available expedited options, please check the official travel.state.gov website.

Passport acceptance services at the COLBY POST OFFICE may have more limited hours than general postal services, or require an appointment to ensure staff availability. It’s highly recommended to call the COLBY POST OFFICE directly at their listed number before visiting to confirm their current passport service hours and availability.
