Appalachian State University Post Office

Tucked into the Appalachian State University campus on Howard Street, the university post office serves as a passport acceptance agent that is especially handy for students preparing to study abroad. A staff member witnesses your signature, verifies your documents, and seals the application for delivery to a regional passport facility.

Because App State sends hundreds of students overseas each year, this office understands the tight timelines that come with semester exchanges and summer programs. Note that it does not offer passport photos, so bring a compliant photo with you or have one taken beforehand. Applicants who need photos in one stop may prefer the Blowing Rock Road post office listed on the Boone passport page.

This campus acceptance point does not take passport photos, so arrive with a compliant 2x2 photo already prepared. Parking on campus can be tight during the academic year, so plan extra time. For other options across the state, browse the North Carolina passport guide.
