📖 About this office
The Richmond Postal Store sits at 140 North Madison Avenue, a short walk from the Eastern Kentucky University campus and the shops along Richmond's central corridor. As a designated USPS acceptance facility, it handles the in-person part of the passport process: a clerk reviews your completed Form DS-11, checks your proof of citizenship and photo ID, witnesses your signature, and forwards the sealed application to the State Department for processing.
Because USPS runs passport acceptance by appointment, you'll want to reserve a slot through the official USPS scheduler rather than dropping in. This branch does not take passport photos, so plan to have a compliant 2x2 photo made beforehand at a nearby pharmacy or photo shop. It's a convenient choice for EKU students and Richmond residents who prefer a straightforward mail-forward handoff.
💡 Good to know
Bring your DS-11 unsigned until the clerk tells you to sign, plus originals and photocopies of your citizenship and ID documents. Photos are not offered here, so arrive with one already taken. For the county courthouse alternative that welcomes walk-ins, see the other listing on our Richmond passport page, or browse the wider Kentucky directory.
