📖 About this office
Hot Springs Albert Pike Station sits on Hammond Drive in the western reaches of Hot Springs National Park, making it a practical option for passport applicants who live on the city's west side or near the Lake Hamilton area. This neighborhood USPS branch processes new adult and minor passport applications as a designated acceptance facility, handling the same document review and fee collection as the Main Post Office on Section Line Road.
Because Albert Pike Station serves a less heavily trafficked area than the city's primary post office, appointment windows here can sometimes be easier to secure during peak travel season. Applicants should still book through the USPS online scheduler at tools.usps.com, as walk-in passport service is not offered. The branch also provides passport photo services, allowing you to complete both your photo and your application submission in one visit.
Bring your DS-11 application form, original proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a valid government-issued photo ID, and payment for both the State Department fee and the acceptance fee. For an overview of every passport acceptance point in the area, see the Hot Springs passport offices page.
💡 Good to know
Hot Springs has two conveniently located USPS passport acceptance offices. If the Albert Pike Station appointment schedule is full, the Hot Springs Main Post Office on Section Line Road is the city's other primary option. Residents across Arkansas needing urgent passport processing (travel within 14 days) must instead contact the Arkansas Passport Center at 191 Office Park Drive by appointment — that center does not accept routine applications.
