Bowman Post Office Passport Services

While walk-ins are sometimes accommodated at the Bowman Post Office for passport services, it’s strongly recommended to schedule an appointment to avoid long waits, especially given the facility’s busy schedule. You can book an appointment directly through the USPS online scheduler or by calling the Bowman Post Office during business hours.

To ensure your application is processed smoothly at the Bowman Post Office, you’ll need your proof of U.S. citizenship (like your original birth certificate or previous passport), valid photo identification (such as your North Dakota driver’s license), and a recent passport photo. Don’t forget your completed but unsigned DS-11 form.

At the Bowman Post Office, the passport application fee must be paid by check or money order directly to the U.S. Department of State. The separate $35 acceptance facility fee, however, can be paid by check, money order, or debit/credit card directly to the Bowman Post Office. It’s crucial to have these two payments separate to avoid delays.

After submitting your application at the Bowman Post Office, the processing times vary, but current estimates are available on the Department of State’s website. You’ll receive a tracking number or can use the information from your submitted application to check the status directly online at travel.state.gov. The Bowman Post Office only accepts the application and doesn’t handle the subsequent mailing.

Passport acceptance services at the Bowman Post Office often have slightly different hours than the main postal counter, or may be limited due to staffing. It’s best to call the Bowman Post Office directly during their standard business hours to confirm the exact times they are accepting passport applications, as these can change. This ensures you arrive when a trained acceptance agent is available.
