Tullahoma Post Office Passport Services

Yes, the Tullahoma Post Office accepts passport renewal applications, but only if you meet specific criteria. You can renew your passport via mail using form DS-82 if your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years, you were over 16 when it was issued, and it’s not damaged. If you do not meet these requirements you will have to apply in person using form DS-11. Stop by window 3 where a postal worker will confirm eligibility and guide you through the process. The postal worker at window 3 can provide form DS-82. Typically, it’s easier to drop off the renewal application in the designated mailbox at the post office rather than scheduling an appointment.

Yes, the Tullahoma Post Office provides passport photo services directly within the facility. The cost for photos is $15.00, payable by cash, check, or money order. The photo booth is located at the back of the lobby near the restrooms. The staff is trained to ensure the photos meet all official passport requirements, eliminating the risk of rejection due to incorrect specifications. The lighting in the photo booth is designed to minimize shadows and ensure clear, compliant images. Arrive a few minutes early to take your photo to ensure your appointment stays on time. Also, the CVS next door also offers photo services.

After submitting your passport application at the Tullahoma Post Office, you’ll receive a tracking number. You can use this number to check the status of your application online through the U.S. Department of State’s website. Typically, it takes about 24-48 hours for the tracking information to become available after submission. Another option is to call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778, but using the online tracking system is generally faster and more convenient. Be sure to save your tracking number in a safe place, such as the Notes app on your phone, as the Postal worker doesn’t have access to it.

The Tullahoma Post Office accepts several forms of payment for passport application fees. You can pay with cash, personal checks (made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’), money orders, and cashier’s checks. Credit and debit cards are not accepted for the application fee. A separate execution fee of $35, payable to the Postal Service, can be paid with cash, check, money order, debit or credit card. If you are paying with a check, make sure to include your date of birth and phone number on the check. For passport photos, cash, check, or money order are accepted.

The Tullahoma Post Office’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The passport services window typically follows the same schedule, but it is highly recommended to call ahead at (931) 455-3331 to confirm availability, especially for walk-in appointments. The post office is closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and federal holidays. Keep in mind that passport appointment slots fill up quickly, so scheduling well in advance is advised. You can also check the USPS website for any temporary changes to their operating hours.

Parking at the Tullahoma Post Office is relatively straightforward. A dedicated 23-space parking lot is available directly in front of the building on S Jackson Street. These spaces are free and reserved for post office customers. However, during peak hours (lunchtime and late afternoon), finding an available spot can be challenging. As an alternative, street parking is available along Jackson Street and nearby Lincoln Street. Street parking is free for two hours, which should be ample time for your passport appointment. Be mindful of the parking meters, as ticketing is actively enforced by the city. During the summer months, the asphalt in the parking lot can get extremely hot, so consider parking in a shaded area if available. In winter, be cautious of ice patches, especially in the early morning hours. For those who prefer a parking garage, the Central Parking Garage is located approximately 0.4 miles away at 100 N Atlantic Street. Rates there are $8 per day. During peak appointment times, arriving 15-20 minutes early allows time to secure a parking spot and avoid rushing. Consider carpooling if possible to minimize parking challenges.

No, passport renewals cannot be done at acceptance facilities. Renewals must be mailed directly to the State Department using Form DS-82, or you can use our expedited renewal service.
