📖 About this office
The Golden Post Office at 1100 Johnson Road sits on the west side of town near the foothills, and its retail counter doubles as a designated passport acceptance point for Jefferson County residents. Clerks here review your DS-11 application, witness your signature, and forward the sealed packet to the State Department for processing.
Because acceptance is handled by appointment rather than at the general window, book a slot ahead through the USPS scheduler before you arrive so a passport-trained clerk is on hand. Bring your completed form (unsigned), original citizenship proof, a photo ID with a photocopy, and payment for the two separate fees.
This branch is a practical first stop for households in west Golden, the Pleasant View area, and commuters heading up US-6 toward the mountains. For other choices in town, compare the options on our Golden passport office guide.
💡 Good to know
Same-day passport photos are typically offered here, which saves a separate errand. Appointments fill fastest around spring break and early summer, so reserve early. If this branch is booked, other Golden acceptance offices or nearby Colorado locations may have sooner openings.
