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

The most efficient way to book your passport acceptance appointment at the El Dorado Post Office is by using the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler online. Appointments are highly recommended to ensure a dedicated time slot, as walk-in availability is very limited and not guaranteed at this facility in El Dorado.

You’ll need your proof of U.S. citizenship (original birth certificate or previous passport), valid photo identification (like a driver’s license), and a recent passport photo. Don’t forget photocopies of both your citizenship document and ID, as they are required for submission with your application at the El Dorado Post Office.

For the passport application fee itself, you’ll need a check or money order made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ The separate USPS acceptance fee, along with any photo fees if you get them taken on-site at the El Dorado Post Office, can typically be paid by cash, debit card, or check.

Routine processing times currently vary, but generally range from several weeks to a few months for passports submitted at the El Dorado Post Office. Your new passport will be mailed directly to the address you provide on your application by the U.S. Department of State, not picked up locally at the El Dorado facility.

Passport acceptance services at the El Dorado Post Office typically have specific, often more limited hours than general postal services, and almost always require an appointment. While walk-ins are generally not accommodated due to staffing and scheduling, checking the online appointment scheduler for available slots is your best bet to secure a time.
