📖 About this office
The USPS Rockville Main Office on North Washington Street is the flagship postal facility for Montgomery County's county seat, and it's one of the busiest passport acceptance windows in the greater Rockville area. Located just north of the Rockville Metro station and a short walk from City Hall, this post office serves a dense mix of commuters, families, and state workers who often combine passport errands with other trips downtown.
Acceptance hours run Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., by appointment only — scheduling ahead via tools.usps.com is essential since slots fill quickly, especially in the spring and summer travel rush. Staff check your entire application packet before sealing and forwarding it, which cuts down on State Department processing delays caused by missing documents.
Rockville's proximity to the Washington DC Passport Agency (about 20 miles south via I-270 and the Capital Beltway) means residents with urgent travel needs have a realistic same-day option. For applicants on a normal timeline, this main office pairs well with the city's other options — see all locations on the Rockville passport offices page or browse the full Maryland directory for facilities in neighboring cities.
💡 Good to know
Book your slot at tools.usps.com/rcas/ — walk-ins are not accepted. Tuesday is closed for passport acceptance at this location, an unusual gap, so confirm your appointment day when scheduling. Bring your DS-11 (do not sign it in advance), original proof of citizenship, a valid government-issued photo ID, a clear photocopy of that ID, and one 2x2 passport photo. Payment splits into two: the $35 acceptance fee by check or money order to USPS, and the State Department application fee separately. The Rockville passport guide lists alternative locations if your preferred slot is unavailable.
