Arvada Post Office

The Arvada Post Office on Allison Street is the primary USPS passport acceptance location serving Arvada's northwest neighborhoods and the broader Jefferson County corridor. Positioned just off Wadsworth Boulevard, it draws applicants from nearby Wheat Ridge and Westminster as well as local residents making their first passport trip.

Passport acceptance here runs on an appointment basis — book through the USPS online scheduler to reserve your slot. The office processes new adult and child applications, and the on-site staff can take passport photos so you can complete everything in one visit. Bring your original citizenship documents, a valid photo ID, and a check or money order made out to the U.S. Department of State for the government fee.

If you need to travel urgently within two weeks, this location handles acceptance paperwork but cannot expedite on-site. In that case, head directly to the Arvada passport offices overview to weigh your options, including same-day service at the Colorado Passport Agency in Centennial — about 30 minutes south via I-70 and C-470.

Payment for the U.S. Department of State fee must be by check or money order — the Arvada Post Office does not accept cash or credit cards for government fees. The USPS acceptance fee is separate and can typically be paid at the counter. Walk-in passport service is not guaranteed; securing an appointment through the USPS scheduler is strongly recommended.
