📖 About this office
The Downtown Fort Smith Post Office sits at 1020 Garrison Avenue in the heart of the historic district, a short walk from the county courthouse and Fort Smith National Historic Site. It serves residents who work or live near the river and prefer to handle their passport paperwork in the city center rather than driving to the south side.
Acceptance clerks at this branch process Form DS-11 for adults applying for the first time and for children who must appear in person. Passport photos can be arranged here as well, letting you wrap up the whole application downtown. Since the office schedules acceptance by appointment, reserving a slot in advance avoids waiting during busy retail hours. Compare it with the other branch on our Fort Smith passport page.
💡 Good to know
Come with a certified birth certificate or other proof of citizenship, a government-issued photo ID, and a photocopy of that ID. Fees are paid in two parts: the State Department application fee and the separate USPS acceptance fee. For applicants living closer to Rogers Avenue, the South 74th Street office is the alternative acceptance site in town.
