📖 About this office
The Kankakee Post Office at 475 East Court Street is a USPS passport acceptance location a short walk from the county courthouse. Postal clerks check that your DS-11 form and supporting documents are in order, watch you sign, and mail the sealed package to a State Department processing center.
This branch is a convenient choice for families and first-time applicants who prefer the post office setting, and there is a dedicated USPS lot behind the building reached through the alley between East Court and East Station Streets. Passport service at USPS counters is arranged by appointment, which you can book online through the official USPS scheduler rather than simply walking in.
If the post office is fully booked, the Kankakee County Clerk a block west offers the same acceptance service, and our wider Illinois passport directory lists options in neighboring towns.
💡 Good to know
Book your passport appointment ahead of time using the official USPS scheduling tool rather than expecting same-day service. Bring your completed DS-11 (do not sign it in advance), proof of citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and payment. Photo availability can vary by branch, so call (815) 935-7440 to confirm before arriving. You can compare this branch with the other accepting agent on our Kankakee overview.
