People Also Ask About TATUM POST OFFICE

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

While the Tatum Post Office may sometimes accommodate walk-ins if staff is available, it’s highly recommended to schedule an appointment for passport services to ensure prompt assistance. You can typically book an appointment online via the USPS website or by calling the Tatum Post Office directly during business hours.

You’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship (like your original birth certificate or previous passport), a valid government-issued photo ID (like a driver’s license), and a photocopy of both sides of your ID. Don’t forget your completed Form DS-11 and a recent passport photo when you come to the Tatum Post Office.

The passport application fee (payable to the U.S. Department of State) varies by passport type, while the execution fee is a separate $35 payable to the Tatum Post Office. For the application fee, only checks or money orders are accepted, but the Tatum Post Office can accept checks, money orders, or debit/credit cards for the execution fee.

Standard processing times for passports currently range from 6-8 weeks from the date the State Department receives your application, not from when you submit it at the Tatum Post Office. For quicker delivery, you can opt for expedited service, which typically takes 2-3 weeks for an additional fee.

Passport acceptance hours at the Tatum Post Office may differ slightly from their general mail service hours, often being more limited. It’s best to call the Tatum Post Office directly or check their specific passport appointment availability online to confirm the most current service times before your visit.
