📖 About this office
The Bismarck Main Post Office at 220 East Rosser Ave is the central downtown USPS facility serving Burleigh County residents with passport acceptance services. Situated one block from the Missouri River bank in Bismarck's civic core, this location handles passport applications for first-time adult applicants, children under 16, and applicants needing to present original documents. Appointments are scheduled through the USPS online scheduling tool, ensuring dedicated time with a trained acceptance agent.
Applicants arrive with a completed DS-11 form, original proof of citizenship, a valid photo ID, a passport-quality photo, and the current government filing fee. The acceptance agent reviews and certifies all documents before forwarding the application packet to a federal passport facility for processing. Routine processing typically takes several weeks; those with upcoming international travel should plan well in advance or explore expedited options.
Bismarck sits at the geographic heart of the Northern Plains, making this downtown post office a practical hub for residents across central North Dakota.

💡 Good to know
Appointments book quickly, especially in spring travel season — schedule as early as possible. All fees are paid separately: the government fee by personal check or money order made out to "U.S. Department of State," and the acceptance fee to the Bismarck Post Office.
