📖 About this office
The Morganton Post Office sits at 320 Sanford Drive on the west side of town, with its own free surface parking lot right beside the building. It's a full passport acceptance facility, and unlike the courthouse it can take your 2x2 passport photo during the same visit, which makes it a one-stop option for a first-time or child application.
Service here is by appointment only, booked through the USPS online scheduler, so plan ahead rather than dropping in. If the available times don't line up with your schedule, the walk-in Burke County clerk's office downtown is a good backup. Because fees, accepted documents, and processing timelines stay uniform statewide, the North Carolina passport guide spells them out once.
💡 Good to know
Book your slot at the USPS scheduler before you go, and arrive about 10-15 minutes early. Since this location handles photos, you don't need to bring one. If appointments are booked out, remember the downtown courthouse clerk takes walk-ins.
