📖 About this office
The Athens Main Post Office on Olympic Drive is the USPS acceptance point for Clarke County's county seat, sitting a short drive north of downtown and the University of Georgia campus. Clerks here review and forward Form DS-11 applications for first-time adults, children, and anyone whose most recent passport can't be renewed by mail.
Because this is a full-service Postal branch, it also sells the money order many applicants use for the State Department fee and can take compliant passport photos on site. If you are weighing which Athens counter fits your schedule, compare it against the other options on our Athens passport guide.
💡 Good to know
Acceptance appointments are handled separately from the regular retail line, so book ahead rather than dropping in at a busy hour. Every adult applying for the first time must appear in person with original citizenship proof; browse nearby counters on the Georgia passport page if this branch is full.
