Buckhannon Main Post Office

The Buckhannon Main Post Office sits at 11 South Spring Street, just off the downtown core near the Buckhannon River, making it an easy stop for anyone living in the county seat or attending West Virginia Wesleyan College nearby. It's the designated passport acceptance facility for the area, handling first-time applications, passport books and cards, and applications for minors who must appear in person with both parents or guardians.

Everything here runs by appointment through the USPS scheduler rather than a first-come line, so plan a week or two ahead during peak travel season. Most residents begin here, as our Buckhannon passport page notes; the shared federal fees and document checklist sit on the West Virginia passport guide so you can pull everything together before arriving.

Street and lot parking are available around the South Spring Street block, and the office is a short walk from the courthouse square. Slots fill fast, so reserve online first; when Buckhannon's calendar is booked, the state page lists acceptance offices in nearby central West Virginia towns. The Upshur County Circuit Clerk no longer accepts applications, so this post office is your local option.
