The Marshall Post Office at 202 E. MICHIGAN AVENUE serves as a pivotal point for residents across Calhoun County needing official document services, including passport application acceptance. Situated on the north side of the historic Michigan Avenue, just a short stroll east of the intersection with N. Kalamazoo Avenue, this facility provides essential federal services to a diverse population. Locals from Marshall’s venerable Fountain District, known for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and the iconic Brooks Memorial Fountain at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Grand Street, frequently utilize this post office. It also caters to families in the more suburban Oaklawn area to the north, as well as agricultural community members from surrounding townships like Marengo and Fredonia, who often visit Marshall for banking and medical appointments.
The building itself, a sturdy brick structure, reflects the enduring federal presence in this historically significant Michigan city. Established initially in the late 1930s, the current building’s architecture subtly blends with Marshall’s renowned Victorian and Greek Revival streetscapes, a characteristic that earned it the designation as a National Historic Landmark District. While not as grand as some of the city’s more ornate buildings like the Honolulu House Museum at 107 N. Kalamazoo Avenue or the Marshall Historical Museum (located in the historic G.A.R. Hall at 402 E. Michigan Avenue), the Post Office maintains a dignified appearance, contributing to the downtown’s cohesive charm. It stands directly across from the Marshall District Library at 111 E. Michigan Avenue, making it a convenient stop for those already engaged in errands or civic duties.
Passport services here are particularly vital for several specific demographics. Students from Marshall High School and nearby Marshall Academy applying for their first passports for study abroad programs or family vacations find the local office accessible. Young professionals establishing careers in Marshall, potentially for companies like Tenneco or working in the regional healthcare sector at Oaklawn Hospital, use this facility for expedited travel document needs. Additionally, numerous retirees residing in Marshall or neighboring communities like Olivet and Tekonsha appreciate the personalized service and familiar environment, often preferring it over the larger, more bustling facilities in Battle Creek. The staff are accustomed to guiding first-time applicants and those renewing documents through the precise federal requirements, offering a level of attention that can be invaluable.
Unique to this location, given Marshall’s size, is the consistent availability of passport photo services directly on-site, eliminating the need for a separate trip to a pharmacy or specialized photo studio. This convenience saves applicants time and simplifies the overall process significantly. The Post Office’s position on Michigan Avenue, the city’s primary east-west thoroughfare, ensures it remains a central and easily locatable point for anyone needing to conduct official business. Its proximity to other essential services, such as Hastings City Bank at 124 W. Michigan Avenue and Highpoint Community Bank, also at 124 W. Michigan Avenue, makes combining errands a straightforward affair. Whether you are a local entrepreneur handling international correspondence or a family planning a cross-border vacation, the Marshall Post Office serves as an authoritative and reliable resource for passport applications, reflecting the community’s commitment to facilitating essential government functions right at home.

Located at MARSHALL POST OFFICE at 202 E. MICHIGAN AVENUE. Easy access from major highways.
Parking directly at the Marshall Post Office is quite convenient. There is a dedicated, free customer parking lot located immediately behind the building, accessible via an alleyway that runs parallel to East Michigan Avenue, between North Kalamazoo Avenue and North Division Street. This lot typically offers around 15-20 spaces, which are usually sufficient even during busier times, though it’s advised to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your passport appointment to secure a spot. For overflow, or if you prefer street parking, metered spots are available along East Michigan Avenue directly in front of the Post Office. These meters typically cost $0.50 per hour and accept quarters, with a two-hour maximum. These street spaces are free on weekends and after 5 PM on weekdays. During harsh winter months, such as January and February, be mindful of potential ice patches in the rear lot and snow accumulation on street parking areas. Summer appointments might mean a slightly warmer walk from a street spot, but the immediate rear lot is generally well-maintained year-round.
Marshall, Michigan, like many smaller cities, operates without an extensive fixed-route public transit system. However, residents needing transportation to the Marshall Post Office can utilize the Albion-Marshall Area Transit (AMAT) service. AMAT operates on a demand-response basis, essentially a curb-to-curb service that requires pre-scheduling. To arrange a ride to 202 E. Michigan Avenue, you would need to call AMAT at (269) 781-3920 at least 24 hours in advance. Fares for a single ride are typically $1.50, and reduced fares are available for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and students. The AMAT vans are all ADA-compliant, offering wheelchair lifts and securement areas, ensuring accessibility for all passengers. While there are no direct bus stops immediately outside the Post Office, AMAT will drop you off right at the front entrance on E. Michigan Avenue. For those coming from outside the immediate Marshall area, a personal vehicle or a ride-share service remains the most direct and flexible option, as regional inter-city transit is also limited.
