📖 About this office
The Bellingham Main Post Office on Prospect Street, a short walk from the downtown waterfront, is a designated passport acceptance facility for Whatcom County's largest city. Clerks here witness your signature on Form DS-11, verify your identifying documents, and seal your completed application into the envelope that travels to the State Department for processing.
This USPS location handles first-time adult applications, applications for children, and cases where a previous passport can't be renewed by mail. Passport service is offered by appointment through the official USPS scheduler rather than on a walk-in basis, so book your slot before you arrive with your paperwork already completed.
Because it sits close to Interstate 5 and the Bellingham city core, this branch is a convenient stop for residents of the surrounding Bellingham neighborhoods and for travelers heading north toward the Canadian border crossings.
💡 Good to know
Bring your completed but unsigned DS-11, proof of U.S. citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and separate payments for the State Department fee and the USPS acceptance fee. If you also need the Whatcom County Treasurer's counter or want to weigh options nearby, see the full list on our Bellingham passport page. Same-day photos may be available on site, but confirm when you reserve.
