📖 About this office

The Somerset Post Office sits at 119 North Maple Street, a short walk from the downtown square, and it is one of two spots in Somerset where you can submit a first passport application without leaving Pulaski County. As a designated acceptance facility, the counter staff here witness your signature on Form DS-11, seal the sealed packet, and forward everything to a State Department processing center on your behalf.

This branch is a practical choice for anyone applying for a brand-new adult book, a child's first passport, or a replacement for a document that was lost, stolen, or damaged. Because passport work is handled alongside regular mail duties, the office keeps acceptance to scheduled slots rather than any-time walk-ins.

Somerset residents who prefer a library setting can compare notes with the alternative in town by browsing the other Kentucky acceptance points listed on this site before deciding where to go.

💡 Good to know

Call 606-679-3549 ahead of your visit to confirm an appointment time, since passport hours are narrower than the retail window. If this branch is booked, the Pulaski County Public Library a few blocks south is the other local option.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Does the Somerset Post Office issue passports on the spot?
No. It accepts and forwards completed applications to a federal processing center; the printed passport arrives by mail afterward.
Do I need an appointment for passport service here?
