Bryan Post Office Passport Services

If you find yourself needing a passport with extreme urgency, Bryan Post Office can process your application with expedited service, which typically shortens the federal processing time. However, for travel within 2-3 weeks, or for genuine life-or-death emergencies, applying through the Bryan Post Office might not be fast enough. In such critical situations, it is highly recommended to consider visiting a regional passport agency, such as the one in Detroit, Michigan, or Chicago, Illinois, which can offer same-day or next-day service by appointment. You would need proof of urgent travel and all required documentation for an agency visit. The Bryan Post Office staff can guide you on initiating an expedited application, but direct agency visits are often necessary for the most immediate needs.

When you come to Bryan Post Office for your passport application, ensure you have all original and photocopied documents. You’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your original birth certificate or previous passport, along with a front-and-back photocopy. Also bring a valid government-issued photo identification, like an Ohio driver’s license, again with a photocopy of both sides. For minors, parental consent and identification are crucial. Don’t forget your completed but unsigned DS-11 form and a recent passport-compliant photograph. Having all these prepared in advance, including the correct payment methods, will significantly streamline your visit at our 142 North Main Street location.

Yes, expedited passport service is available when applying at the Bryan Post Office. This option is for applicants who need their passport processed faster than the routine timeline, often cutting the wait by several weeks for an additional fee. You can opt for expedited service on your DS-11 form and pay the extra $60 fee per application directly to the Department of State. We also recommend considering expedited return shipping for an additional $19.53 to receive your passport sooner once it’s processed. Just let the passport acceptance agent at our Main Street counter know your preference, and they will ensure your application is marked correctly for faster processing.

Yes, appointments are absolutely required for all minor passport applications at the Bryan Post Office. Furthermore, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the minor, presenting their valid government-issued identification and proof of parental relationship (like the minor’s original birth certificate). If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) along with a copy of their ID. These strict rules are in place to prevent international parental child abduction. Ensure you bring all necessary documents for both parents and the child, including photos, to your scheduled appointment at 142 North Main Street.

For the fees paid to the U.S. Department of State for the passport book or card itself, personal checks, money orders, or certified checks are the primary accepted payment methods. These should be made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ At the Bryan Post Office specifically, for the execution fee ($35) and any photo services ($15), you can typically pay with a money order, personal check, or debit card. Credit cards are generally not accepted for the execution fee, but it’s always wise to have multiple payment options, including cash for the exact amount, ready for your appointment to ensure a smooth transaction without delays.

Parking for the Bryan Post Office at 142 North Main Street is quite manageable, especially when compared to larger urban centers. Direct street parking is available along North Main Street directly in front of the post office. These are typically unmetered spaces, but do observe any posted time limits, which are often 2-hour restrictions between 8 AM and 5 PM on weekdays. Your best strategy for an appointment is to aim for one of these spots, ensuring you arrive 10-15 minutes early to secure one. If street parking directly on Main Street is occupied, there is generally ample free parking on adjacent side streets, such as West High Street (a block south) or West Butler Street (a block north). Many local businesses also have small, shared lots that permit temporary parking, though confirming signage is always advisable. Alternatively, a small, free municipal parking lot is situated approximately 0.2 miles (a 3-minute walk) east of the post office, accessible via West High Street and turning north onto Walnut Street. This 30-space lot behind the Bryan Public Library almost always has open spots. During winter months, particularly from December to March, Main Street can become icy, so exercising caution when walking from more distant parking is crucial. Summer heat, especially in July and August, suggests bringing water for the short walk if you park further away. For appointments, aim for the unmetered spots directly on Main Street first; it’s the most convenient option and typically available unless there’s a specific downtown event.

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.

If you’re traveling soon, our expedited service can get your passport in as little as 3 days. We handle everything from document review to delivery, with 24/7 support. Call 800-860-8610 to get started.
