📖 About this office
The Alexandria Post Office on Elm Street is a USPS passport acceptance location a short walk from the downtown core, close to the county offices that also accept applications. Like most post offices, it handles passport work by appointment scheduled through the USPS online tool, and it's a convenient stop if you're already picking up mail or shipping a package. Staff process first-time applications and passports for minors and forward everything for standard mail-in handling.
Unlike the county Recorder in Minnesota's lakes country, the post office does not take passport photos, so plan to bring a compliant 2x2 photo with you. Appointment slots are limited, so booking a few days ahead is wise, especially in spring and early summer.
💡 Good to know
Schedule your appointment through the USPS scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas/ rather than walking in, and arrive with a printed 2x2 passport photo since this branch doesn't have a camera. If you'd rather get the photo taken on the spot, the Douglas County Recorder a few blocks away offers that service.
