📖 About this office
The Kodiak Post Office on Lower Mill Bay Road sits at the heart of this island city's downtown harbor district, making it the most convenient starting point for Kodiak residents and fishermen who need to apply for a U.S. passport. As an authorized USPS passport acceptance facility, the post office processes DS-11 applications for first-time passports, replacements for lost or stolen documents, and child passports for applicants under 16. Passport photos are available on-site for an additional fee.
Scheduled appointments are required through the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler at tools.usps.com. Because Kodiak is an island accessible only by air or ferry, planning ahead is especially important — residents should allow extra time given the remote logistics of reaching the Seattle Passport Agency if an in-person urgent appointment is ever needed. Bringing all completed forms and supporting documents to your appointment will keep the process smooth.
For renewal applicants who qualify to mail in their DS-82 form, the Kodiak Post Office can assist with outgoing mail, though the passport itself is processed and mailed from a regional facility. The office serves the broader Kodiak Island Borough community, including nearby communities that rely on Kodiak for government services.
💡 Good to know
Kodiak is a remote island city, so residents planning international travel should apply well in advance. For details on all acceptance locations in the state, the Alaska passport offices page provides a statewide overview. Once your application is submitted, routine processing currently takes several weeks; expedited service reduces that window. If travel is imminent, contact the Kodiak passport page for additional local guidance and planning tips.
