📖 About this office
USPO University Station sits on University Avenue Southeast in the Dinkytown gateway area, directly serving the University of Minnesota's East Bank campus neighborhood. The station is an authorized passport acceptance facility, handling DS-11 applications for students, faculty, staff, and neighborhood residents who find the Dinkytown-Prospect Park corridor more convenient than downtown Minneapolis locations.
Like all USPS acceptance sites, appointments are required and must be booked through the USPS scheduler. The branch benefits from its proximity to the University of Minnesota — a major population center with many applicants obtaining passports for first-time international travel, study-abroad programs, or graduate research. Metro Transit's Route 2 and Route 3 buses stop nearby on University Avenue.
For applicants living on or near the University of Minnesota campus, this branch offers a campus-adjacent option without the longer commute to the downtown post offices. Additional Twin Cities locations are listed in our Minnesota passport offices directory and the Minneapolis acceptance guide.
💡 Good to know
University Station is particularly popular at the start of spring semester as students prepare for summer study-abroad departures, so early booking is strongly advised between January and March. Confirm photo availability when scheduling — not every branch session includes a photo technician. The Minneapolis passport page lists two additional downtown USPS sites if this branch's calendar is full. All government fees must be paid as a separate check or money order to the U.S. Department of State.
