📖 About Grants
Grants sits on old Route 66 in Cibola County, roughly 78 miles west of Albuquerque along I-40, and for most residents applying for a first passport the practical choice is a single acceptance office in town: the main U.S. Post Office on West Santa Fe Avenue. It handles new applications, child passports and the DS-11 in-person appointment that anyone getting a passport for the first time must complete.
Because Grants is a small mountain-desert community, there is no passport agency here. New Mexico has no regional passport agency at all, so if you face urgent travel the nearest public agency is in El Paso, Texas, about four hours south. For routine or slightly-early service, though, there is no need to travel: the local post office reviews your documents, witnesses your signature and mails everything to the State Department.

💡 Good to know
Plan a little ahead in Grants: with one acceptance office serving the town, appointment slots can fill during busy travel seasons, so book early through the USPS scheduler. Bring an original birth certificate or prior passport plus a photo ID, and remember the passport fee and the acceptance fee are paid separately. For the current fee amounts and document checklist, check the statewide New Mexico guide before your visit.
