When applying for a passport at the Fennimore Post Office, you can pay for the application fee and the execution fee separately. The application fee, which goes to the State Department, must be paid by check or money order, made payable to the U.S. Department of State. The execution fee, which is paid to the post office for their service, can be paid by cash, check, money order, or debit/credit card. Note that Hartig Drug across the street has an ATM machine that can provide cash for the execution fee, or a money order if needed.

Be sure to bring a photocopy of both your citizenship evidence and your ID. If you don’t have a photo, the post office offers passport photo services for an additional fee. Finally, bring the completed DS-11 application form, which you can download from the State Department’s website or pick up at the post office.

Parking at the Fennimore Post Office is generally hassle-free. The facility offers a dedicated, free parking lot directly adjacent to the building on the east side. The lot contains approximately 25 spaces, usually sufficient to accommodate customers visiting for passport services, even during peak hours. If the post office lot is full, additional street parking is available along 12th Street. Parking along 12th Street is free and without time limits. During the winter months, be mindful of potential snow and ice accumulation in the parking lot and on the sidewalks. The city plows 12th street frequently, but it is still best to exercise caution. Allow an extra 5-10 minutes to clear snow from your vehicle and navigate the icy patches. During the summer, the parking lot can get quite hot, so consider parking in a shaded area if available, especially if you have young children or elderly individuals with you. The post office lot is only one block from Lincoln Ave, so if the applicant is going to be taking care of any other banking or pharmacy needs in the area, parking on Lincoln Ave may be more convenient.
