which post offices do passports

Most passports are handled at specific “passport acceptance” locations, and only some post offices offer that service. Which post offices do passports depends on your country and your local area.

Key point: not every post office

• Only designated post offices act as passport acceptance facilities , meaning they can take your application, check your documents, and send everything to the government passport office for processing.

• Other branches may offer only photo services, or no passport-related service at all.

How to find which post offices do passports

In most places (including the US and UK), you do not guess; you look up official locations online:

• Use the official government “where to apply for a passport” finder (typically run by the national passport authority) and search by your postcode or city to see which post offices and other facilities accept applications.

• Check your national postal service website; they often have a “passports” page where you can search for branches that offer passport appointments and photos.

Once you find a nearby post office that shows “passport acceptance” or “Check & Send” (or similar wording), that is one of the post offices that “does passports.”

Practical tips before you go

• Most passport post offices now require or strongly prefer an appointment booked online in advance, especially in busy travel seasons.

• Many of them can also take compliant passport photos on site, but it is still wise to confirm this on the branch’s information page.

If you tell the exact country (and, if you want, your city or postcode), a more tailored step‑by‑step on where to click and what to search for can be provided within your system’s official websites.
