Lexington Main Post Office

Lexington's main postal facility on Nandino Boulevard handles a steady volume of passport applications for Fayette County residents year-round. Situated near the north side of the city off New Circle Road, this full-service post office is the largest USPS acceptance point in the Lexington metro area, staffed with trained passport acceptance agents throughout the week.

Appointments are required and can be booked through the USPS online scheduler at tools.usps.com. Agents here accept applications for first-time adult passports, child and minor passports, and replacements for lost, stolen, or damaged documents. The office can also assist with passport photos. Bring your completed DS-11 form, proof of citizenship, government-issued photo ID, and applicable fees payable by check or money order to the U.S. Department of State.

Lexington sits roughly 378 miles from the Atlanta Passport Agency — the nearest full-service agency for travelers with urgent departure dates within 14 days. For Fayette County residents planning international travel, applying at this location with expedited processing and shipping remains the most practical path to a timely passport. See our Kentucky passport acceptance guide for statewide context, or browse all Lexington offices to compare your options.

Payment to the U.S. Department of State must be by personal check or money order — the post office cannot accept card payment for federal fees. Bring a separate check for the acceptance execution fee payable to the United States Postal Service. Expedited processing (an additional $60 federal fee) is recommended for travel planned within 12 weeks. If your departure is within 14 days, you will need an appointment at a regional passport agency such as the Atlanta Passport Agency rather than an acceptance facility.
