📖 About this office

This is Asheville's central post office, sitting on Coxe Avenue where downtown gives way to the South Slope brewery district. Its location makes it the natural choice for anyone living, working, or studying in the city core, and it accepts passport applications for first-time travelers, minors, and those who cannot renew by mail. Clerks review your documents, witness your signature, and mail the sealed application to the State Department on your behalf.

💡 Good to know

Arrive with an unsigned DS-11, proof of citizenship, a valid photo ID with a copy, and two forms of payment. Confirm whether on-site passport photos are available when you schedule, since that service varies by branch. If downtown parking is tight, the south-side branch on our Asheville directory may be easier.
