📖 About this office
The Great Bend Main Post Office on 16th Street is the most straightforward place in town to start a passport application, especially for first-timers and families who also need a photo taken. It handles the DS-11 form for new adult and child passports, checks your citizenship documents, and forwards everything to the State Department for you. As an acceptance point, it can't mail in a renewal for you or print a book the same day; that calls for the Dallas agency noted on the Kansas passport page.
Appointments are required and are booked through the USPS scheduler rather than by dropping in. If you would rather handle things at the county courthouse instead, the Great Bend listings also include the Barton County Register of Deeds downtown.
💡 Good to know
Book through the USPS online scheduler before you go — this location does not take walk-in passport customers. Arrive with your DS-11 filled out but unsigned, your proof of citizenship, and an ID with a photocopy. Since it is a busy retail post office, the parking lot fills at midday, so an earlier slot is usually smoother. See the other Great Bend option if this one is fully booked.
