📖 About this office
The Aurora Altura Post Office — known internally as the Altura Megacenter — is one of the busiest USPS passport acceptance facilities along the E. Colfax corridor in Aurora, Colorado. Passport applicants from across Arapahoe and Adams counties regularly use this high-capacity location because of its extended Tuesday-through-Saturday hours and its position near the I-225 interchange, making it convenient from multiple Aurora neighborhoods as well as from nearby Centennial and Denver.
The Megacenter accepts first-time adult passport applications, children and minor passports requiring both parents or legal guardians to be present, and documentation for name-change corrections. Acceptance agents verify all form DS-11 paperwork, collect fees, and submit applications directly to the State Department — applicants do not need to mail anything separately after their visit. Passport photos are not offered on-site, so plan to bring a compliant 2×2 photo prepared in advance.
Appointments are required and are booked through the USPS online scheduling tool at tools.usps.com. Slots at this location book quickly, especially on Saturdays, so scheduling at least two weeks ahead is strongly advised. Travelers with imminent departure dates should instead contact the Aurora passport services page for guidance on the Colorado Passport Agency in nearby Centennial.
💡 Good to know
Passport photos are not available at this facility — bring a compliant 2×2 color photo from a pharmacy or photo shop beforehand. The Colorado Passport Agency is approximately 7 miles away in Centennial (7245 S. Havana St.) for applicants with urgent travel within 14 days.
