📖 About this office
Otter Tail County runs its own passport acceptance desk out of the Government Services Center on Fir Avenue West, just around the corner from the courthouse in downtown Fergus Falls. The county treasurer's staff accept DS-11 applications from first-time applicants, children, and anyone whose earlier passport does not qualify for renewal by mail.
Appointments here are typically offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, so calling ahead at 218-998-8295 to reserve a time and confirm the documents you need saves a wasted trip. The county also runs a license center that can take a compliant passport photo for a modest fee, which is convenient if you want everything handled in one downtown stop. See the alternatives side by side on our Fergus Falls office guide.
💡 Good to know
Because this is a government office rather than a postal counter, bring certified citizenship evidence and a valid photo ID, and be ready to pay the State Department fee plus the county acceptance fee separately. If a scheduling conflict comes up, the Western Avenue post office offers a second acceptance option nearby, both mapped on the Minnesota passport directory.
