📖 About this office
The Newark Main Post Office anchors passport acceptance on Ogletown Road, a short drive from the University of Delaware's south campus and the Christiana medical corridor. As a designated USPS acceptance agent, this branch handles the in-person step of a passport application: staff confirm your identity, witness your signature on the DS-11, and seal the packet for delivery to the U.S. Department of State.
The office serves first-time applicants, families applying for children who must appear in person, and anyone replacing a lost or stolen passport who cannot use the mail-in renewal. Because it is an acceptance point rather than an issuing agency, your printed passport arrives later by mail rather than over the counter.
💡 Good to know
Appointments here are managed through the USPS scheduler, not by phone, so book online before you travel to Ogletown Road. Have your citizenship document, photo ID, and a photocopy ready, and bring the acceptance fee and State Department fee as separate payments. If you are weighing this branch against other options in the region, the Delaware passport guide lists what to expect statewide.
