Fallon Post Office

The Fallon Post Office anchors downtown at 120 N. Maine Street, directly across from the historic Churchill County Courthouse, and it is the primary place in Churchill County where residents submit new U.S. passport applications in person. A designated acceptance agent checks your citizenship evidence, verifies your identity, watches you sign Form DS-11, and seals the packet before it heads to the State Department.

This is the office to use for a first adult passport, a child's first passport, or replacing a book that was lost, stolen, or damaged — the situations that require an in-person acceptance agent rather than a mail-in renewal. Farmers coming in from the Lahontan Valley, families near Oats Park, and travelers heading out through Reno all funnel through this single counter, so passport work is handled by appointment to keep the line moving.

Book your slot ahead of time at the USPS scheduler; walk-in passport service is not guaranteed here. For a wider look at where else Nevadans can apply, see our Nevada passport offices guide, or browse the full list for Fallon.

Bring an unsigned Form DS-11, proof of U.S. citizenship (certified birth certificate or prior passport) plus a photocopy, and a valid photo ID with a copy. Fees to the State Department and the acceptance fee are paid separately, so plan for two payments. Photos can usually be taken here for an added fee if you have not brought your own. Compare it with the nearby Churchill County Clerk/Treasurer option if the post office schedule is full.
