BURLINGTON POST OFFICE Passport Services: Hours, Location & What to Expect
The Burlington community relies on the Burlington Post Office at 100 S. Pine Street, a cornerstone of civic life since 1968. Located a block south of Jefferson Street, near the intersection of Pine and Washington Streets, it serves as a primary passport application processing center for residents of Burlington, the Lyons neighborhood, and the surrounding rural areas of Racine County. Families planning international vacations, business travelers heading to destinations accessible through Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee (approximately 40 minutes north), and students participating in study abroad programs at nearby Gateway Technical College all utilize this facility. The Post Office is within easy walking distance of Wehmhoff Square Park, a central gathering space for community events and a historical landmark featuring a Civil War memorial cannon. Burlington’s historical designation as “Chocolate City U.S.A.” is reflected in the numerous local businesses that create specialty confectionery and attract tourists year-round; the Post Office frequently processes passport applications for visitors extending their stay or embarking on spontaneous international trips fueled by their Wisconsin adventure. The facility supports a diverse demographic, from long-time residents of the Echo Lake area submitting renewal applications to first-time applicants residing in newly developed subdivisions along Highway 83. Senior citizens from the adjacent senior living facilities find the accessibility of the Post Office, with its ground-level entrance and dedicated parking spaces, particularly convenient. The Post Office’s strategic location provides a convenient passport application point for those coming from smaller adjacent towns like Rochester and Browns Lake. As of 2024, Burlington has seen a notable increase in passport applications, likely driven by a renewed interest in international travel following the pandemic and new regulations requiring passports for certain border crossings. Staff are well-versed in the DS-11 form, citizenship evidence requirements, and photo specifications. They routinely handle complex cases, including those involving name changes, amended birth certificates, and other documentation challenges. The current demand underscores the Post Office’s importance for area residents needing efficient and reliable passport services.

Location & How to Get Here
🚗 From Downtown
Located at BURLINGTON POST OFFICE at 100 S. PINE STREET. Easy access from major highways.
🅿️ Parking Info
Parking at the Burlington Post Office is generally convenient, with a dedicated 12-space parking lot directly in front of the building on S. Pine Street. These spaces are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. During peak hours (late morning and early afternoon), these spaces can fill up quickly. Additional street parking is available on S. Pine Street, but it is limited to 2-hour intervals between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. There are no parking meters; instead, chalking is used to track time limits. For longer appointments, consider parking on the adjacent side streets, such as Washington Street or McHenry Street, where free, unlimited parking is usually available, a short 2-block walk to the Post Office. During the winter months, be mindful of snow removal. Parking restrictions may be enforced following significant snowfall. The City of Burlington typically declares snow emergencies, prohibiting parking on designated snow routes. During the summer, the black asphalt can get quite hot; be mindful of pets if you leave them in the car.
🚌 Public Transit
While Burlington doesn’t have a comprehensive public transit system like a major city, the closest thing is the Burlington LiNK Community Transportation service. Although not a fixed-route bus, this service provides curb-to-curb transportation within the city limits for a fee of $3.00 per ride, requiring advance booking by calling (262) 763-3100 at least 24 hours prior to the desired pick-up time. The LiNK service is wheelchair accessible, making it a viable option for individuals with mobility challenges. Those arriving from neighboring communities may utilize ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft, but availability can be sporadic. The nearest train station is in Sturtevant, approximately 20 miles east of Burlington, accessible via Highway 11. From the Sturtevant station, you’d need to rely on ride-sharing or the LiNK service for the final leg of the journey. The Burlington Post Office is located centrally, making it relatively accessible for those walking or biking from within the city limits.

What to Expect at BURLINGTON POST OFFICE
The experience at Burlington Post Office is generally efficient, though expect a short wait during peak hours around lunchtime (11:30 AM to 1:00 PM) and after the school day ends (3:00 PM to 4:30 PM). The passport application counter is located immediately to the right as you enter through the main south-facing entrance on Pine Street. Upon arrival, take a number from the dispenser and wait for your number to be called at window number 3, which is specifically designated for passport services. The interior features standard postal service architecture: high ceilings, fluorescent lighting, and a functional layout. The area dedicated to passport services is a relatively small section within the larger postal operations space. Accessibility features include a wheelchair ramp leading to the entrance, automatic doors, and ample space to maneuver within the waiting area. Expect the appointment to last approximately 20-25 minutes, depending on the complexity of your application and whether you need to have your photo taken on-site, which incurs an additional $15 fee. The entire process, from check-in to submitting your completed application, is handled by a dedicated postal worker trained in passport procedures.
