Rockbridge Post Office Passport Services

If you require expedited passport processing, it’s best to discuss your specific timeline with the staff at the Rockbridge Post Office. While they process applications, the actual timeline depends on the State Department. In urgent cases, consider contacting the regional passport agency, which is typically located in a major city. While there isn’t a dedicated agency in Columbus, the staff at the Rockbridge Post Office can provide information on the nearest options and required documentation. For example, if you live near the intersection of Walnut Street and Main Street, then travelling to Columbus is best done using US-33.

After submitting your application at the Rockbridge Post Office, you’ll receive a tracking number. This number allows you to monitor the status of your application online through the U.S. Department of State’s website. Keep the receipt provided by the Rockbridge Post Office in a safe place, as it contains this essential tracking information. Tracking typically becomes available 7-10 days after submission. If you reside on Poplar Street or Elm Street, you can easily access the internet at the Rockbridge Public Library to check your application’s progress.

The Rockbridge Post Office accepts several forms of payment for passport application fees. You can pay with cash, check, money order, or debit card. Credit cards are not accepted for the application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State. A separate execution fee is payable directly to the Rockbridge Post Office, and they may accept credit cards for this specific charge. Remember to bring a valid photo ID if paying with a check or debit card. It’s wise to confirm accepted payment methods with the postal staff prior to your appointment.

While the Rockbridge Post Office does not accept credit cards for the passport application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State, they may accept credit cards for the separate execution fee collected by the post office. It is always advisable to confirm directly with the Rockbridge Post Office staff regarding their current payment policies. Ensure you have an alternative payment method available, such as a check or money order, to cover the application fee. You can purchase a money order at the nearby CVS Pharmacy on Main Street if needed.

If you’re applying for a passport for a child under the age of 16, both parents or legal guardians must be present during the application process at the Rockbridge Post Office. You’ll need to provide proof of relationship, such as a birth certificate, and valid photo identification for both parents. If only one parent is present, you must submit documentation demonstrating sole custody or a notarized statement of consent from the absent parent. Call the Rockbridge Post Office to confirm appointment availability to ensure both parents can attend together.

Parking at the Rockbridge Post Office is generally straightforward. A small, free lot with approximately 12 spaces is located directly adjacent to the building off Main Street. During peak hours, these spaces can fill up quickly, especially on weekdays between noon and 2 PM. Additional street parking is available along Main Street, though it’s advisable to pay close attention to signage indicating any time restrictions. There are no metered parking spots in immediate vicinity. For longer appointments or during busy periods, consider parking on Elm Street, one block west of the post office; it typically has more available space and is only a short walk. In the winter months, be cautious of ice and snow accumulation in the parking lot and on sidewalks. During the summer, the asphalt in the parking area can get quite hot, so wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. Planning your visit for mid-morning or mid-afternoon can often help you secure a parking spot closer to the building. If you plan your visit during the annual Rockbridge Festival, which is held on Main Street, parking will be very difficult.
