📖 About this office
The Meridian Main Post Office anchors the city's passport services at 2100 9th Street in the heart of Lauderdale County's seat. This USPS facility has long served as a first stop for residents of east-central Mississippi who need to submit DS-11 new passport applications, with agents trained to verify documentation and witness oaths on the spot.
Appointments for passport acceptance are required and must be booked through the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler at tools.usps.com. Walk-in acceptance is not guaranteed, so applicants — including first-time adult applicants and children under 16 — should lock in a time slot before arriving with their completed forms, supporting documents, and fees.
Situated in Meridian, a regional hub for medical, retail, and government services across eastern Mississippi, this post office draws applicants from throughout Lauderdale County and neighboring Kemper, Clarke, and Newton counties. Residents who need more context on Mississippi's passport landscape can review the Mississippi passport offices guide before scheduling their visit.
💡 Good to know
All passport acceptance at this location is by appointment only — walk-ins for passport services are not available. Bring your original proof of citizenship, a valid photo ID, a completed DS-11 form (do not sign until in front of the agent), and passport-size photos.
