Keene Nh Passport Services

The Keene Post Office strongly recommends scheduling an appointment for passport services to ensure efficient processing and avoid long waits. You can book an appointment online via the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler or by calling the Keene facility directly during business hours. Booking several weeks in advance is advisable, especially during peak travel seasons like spring or early summer, to secure your preferred time at our Keene location.

When applying for your passport in Keene, you’ll need to bring your original proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your birth certificate or previous passport, and a valid photo ID like your state-issued driver’s license. All original documents, along with clear photocopies of both sides of your ID and citizenship document, must be presented at the Keene Post Office for verification.

For the passport application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State, you must use a personal check or money order; the Keene facility cannot accept cash or credit cards for this portion. However, the separate $35 execution fee for the acceptance facility can typically be paid to the Keene Post Office directly using cash, debit card, or a check/money order. Be sure to have two separate payments ready when applying in Keene.

While applying at the Keene Post Office ensures your application is properly submitted, the actual processing time is determined by the U.S. Department of State, not the local facility. Currently, routine processing can take 6-8 weeks and expedited processing (for an additional fee) 2-3 weeks from the date your application is received by the State Department. Plan accordingly for your travel from Keene, allowing ample time for the federal processing.

The passport acceptance hours at the Keene Post Office are typically more limited than their general retail hours, often running Monday through Friday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Unfortunately, the Keene facility generally does not offer extended evening or weekend hours for passport services due to staffing and operational constraints. It is best to check their specific passport appointment availability online or call the 190 Main Street location directly for the most current schedule.
