📖 About this office
The Champaign Post Office on North Mattis Avenue serves as the primary USPS passport acceptance facility for residents of Champaign and surrounding Champaign County communities. Situated in a retail-heavy corridor on the northwest side of Champaign, the facility is easily accessible by car with ample parking. Staff here are trained to witness and submit first-time passport applications, applications for minors, and replacement passports for those that are lost, stolen, or damaged.
Appointments are required for passport acceptance at this location and must be booked through the USPS online scheduler. Walk-ins are not accepted for passport services. When you arrive, bring your completed DS-11 application form, original citizenship document, government-issued photo ID, a passport photo, and the applicable government fees payable to the U.S. Department of State. The USPS acceptance fee is paid separately at the counter.
Champaign is home to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and this office sees steady demand from students, faculty, and international travelers heading abroad for research or study.

💡 Good to know
Passport acceptance at this USPS location is strictly by appointment — walk-ins for passport services are not accommodated. Book your slot online well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons (spring and early summer). If you need urgent same-day processing, the Chicago Passport Agency at 101 Ida B. Wells Drive in Chicago handles expedited appointments for travelers with imminent departures, approximately 135 miles north via I-57 and I-55.
