Luverne Post Office

The Luverne Post Office at 407 East Lincoln Street is the passport acceptance facility for Rock County's seat and the surrounding southwestern corner of Minnesota. Staff here review first-time passport applications, witness your signature, and forward your documents and payment to the U.S. State Department for processing. Because Luverne sits three-plus hours from the nearest full-service passport agency, this counter is the practical starting point for most residents of Rock County and the small towns dotted along Interstate 90.

Passport service at USPS counters runs by appointment, so book a time slot before you arrive rather than walking in during regular retail hours. When you come in, bring your completed Form DS-11 (leave it unsigned until the clerk asks you to sign), proof of U.S. citizenship such as a certified birth certificate, and a photo ID with a photocopy. Passport photos are typically available on site for an added fee, which spares you a separate errand. For a fuller rundown of documents and fees, see our Luverne passport guide.

Families applying together should plan ahead: every applicant, including infants, must appear in person, and children under 16 need both parents or guardians present. If Luverne's appointment calendar is full around a travel deadline, other Minnesota acceptance offices can be a fallback.

Schedule your appointment through the USPS online scheduler before visiting, and give yourself extra lead time in spring and early summer when demand spikes ahead of vacation season. Have your fees ready in the correct forms of payment, since the State Department application fee and the acceptance fee are paid separately. Planning a trip?
