Litchfield Post Office

The Litchfield Post Office sits at 35 E 2nd St in the heart of downtown, a short walk from the Meeker County courthouse square and the shops along Sibley Avenue. Alongside its everyday mail and package counter, this USPS branch is a designated passport acceptance facility, so Litchfield residents can start a first-time U.S. passport application without driving to a larger city.

A postal clerk reviews your completed Form DS-11, checks your proof of citizenship and photo ID, witnesses your signature, and seals everything into the official envelope that travels to the State Department. Because acceptance appointments are handled through the USPS scheduling system rather than by walk-in, book your slot in advance at tools.usps.com/rcas and arrive a few minutes early with your paperwork ready.

This branch can also take the two-inch square passport photo on site, which spares a separate errand. If you are unsure whether the post office or the county office better fits your schedule, compare both on the Litchfield passport page before you go.

Appointments for acceptance are made through the USPS system, not by phone drop-in, so reserve a time before you visit. Bring your original citizenship document (certified birth certificate or naturalization certificate) plus a photocopy, and a valid government photo ID.
