Tomah Postal Office Passport Services

Passport costs are set by the U.S. Department of State and are consistent nationwide, however, you’ll need to factor in the Tomah Postal Office’s $35 execution fee. For a new adult passport book, expect to pay $130 to the Department of State, plus the execution fee. Children under 16 require a $100 application fee plus the execution fee. Passport cards, which are valid for land and sea travel to Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean, cost $30 for adults and $15 for children, in addition to the execution fee at Tomah Postal Office. Remember to bring a separate form of payment for the application fee (check or money order) and the execution fee (cash or card).

While appointments are highly recommended for passport services at the Tomah Postal Office, walk-ins are sometimes accommodated, depending on staffing levels and appointment schedules for the day. It’s best to call ahead at (608) 372-4141 to inquire about walk-in availability. If you choose to walk in, arrive as early as possible in the morning, as that’s typically when they have the most flexibility. Be prepared to wait, as those with appointments will be given priority. During peak season (summer and holidays), walk-in availability is severely limited, so scheduling an appointment is strongly advised.
