📖 About this office
The Pekin Post Office on Broadway Street has served as a passport acceptance facility for Tazewell County residents for many years. Located near the commercial heart of Pekin's downtown, this USPS branch accepts new passport applications, child passport requests, and can process name-change renewals that require in-person submission. Postal acceptance agents verify your documents, collect the state department fee on behalf of the federal government, and ship your application packet directly to a processing center.
All passport appointments at this and every USPS facility are scheduled through the USPS online appointment scheduler at tools.usps.com. Walk-in availability is limited and varies by season, so booking a slot in advance—particularly during the March-through-June rush—will save you a wasted trip. Passport photo service may be available at this location; confirm when scheduling.
Pekin is the Tazewell County seat and sits along the Illinois River roughly 10 miles south of Peoria. Residents from surrounding communities like East Peoria, Morton, and Washington regularly use this post office as a convenient midpoint for their passport applications. For the full picture of acceptance sites in the area, the Pekin passport offices page lists all current options.
