📖 About this office
The Independence Main Postal Office anchors downtown Independence at 301 W Lexington Ave, just steps from the historic courthouse square. As a federally appointed passport acceptance agent, this post office processes DS-11 applications for first-time applicants, children, and anyone replacing a lost or stolen passport — forwarding completed packets directly to a national processing center.
Passport appointments are made through the USPS online scheduling system at tools.usps.com, where applicants can view current availability and book a time that works around their schedule. On-site passport photo services are available, making this a convenient one-stop location for both the application and the required photo. The Lexington Avenue location sits within easy reach of residents across Jackson County's western Independence neighborhoods.
For more locations and planning tips across the state, the Missouri passport offices guide covers acceptance facilities region by region, and the full Independence passport page outlines both facilities serving the city.
💡 Good to know
All DS-11 applicants must appear in person with original proof of citizenship and a valid photo ID. Book your slot early — downtown Independence appointments can fill several weeks out. The Independence passport guide lists an additional acceptance option at Trails West Branch library if the post office schedule is full.
