📖 About this office
USPO Loring Station occupies a compact storefront branch near the Loring Park neighborhood, one of the more walkable and architecturally rich corners of central Minneapolis. The station is authorized to accept complete passport applications — including DS-11 forms for new applicants and first-time child passports — making it a convenient alternative to the busier downtown main post office for residents on the west side of the urban core.
All passport services are by appointment; the USPS scheduler at tools.usps.com is the fastest way to secure a slot. The Loring branch draws applicants from the Stevens Square, Whittier, and Lowry Hill neighborhoods thanks to its accessible surface parking and walkable approach from the Hennepin Avenue and Nicollet Mall corridors.
Passport photos can be taken at this branch, sparing applicants an extra errand before their appointment. For a broader picture of Twin Cities acceptance options, the Minnesota passport offices page and our Minneapolis city guide list additional nearby facilities.
💡 Good to know
Loring Station is smaller than the Main Post Office downtown, so appointment slots can be limited on short notice. If you're applying for a child's passport both parents or guardians must appear together unless a notarized consent form is provided. Check the Minneapolis passport office guide for additional locations if Loring's calendar is booked. Bring the government fee as a separate check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State.
