📖 About this office

Arlington Hills Post Office serves the northeast neighborhoods of St. Paul from its location on Arlington Avenue East, a residential stretch connecting the Como and Phalen-area communities. This USPS branch is a neighborhood-scale station — compact and community-facing — that nonetheless holds a full passport acceptance designation, making it a practical option for residents on St. Paul's north and east sides who want to avoid the drive downtown.

The office processes new passport applications for both adults and minors. Applicants should book through the USPS appointment scheduler at tools.usps.com, arrive with a completed but unsigned DS-11, and bring their citizenship evidence and photo ID. The station is situated in a neighborhood that has seen significant demographic growth in recent decades, and staff are accustomed to serving a diverse clientele including first-time applicants applying for passports to visit family abroad.

Arlington Hills sits within easy reach of Rice Street, Phalen Boulevard, and I-35E, making it accessible from Maplewood and North St. Paul as well. Travelers considering multiple acceptance locations can compare options on the St. Paul passport page or see the full list of acceptance sites across Minnesota.

💡 Good to know

Schedule your appointment online at tools.usps.com/rcas/ before arriving — this USPS station does not guarantee walk-in passport acceptance slots. You'll need your DS-11 form (completed but unsigned), your original proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid photo ID and its photocopy, a 2×2 passport photo, and payment for both the government passport fee and the acceptance facility fee. If your departure is less than two weeks away, the Minneapolis Passport Agency at 212 3rd Ave S in Minneapolis — about 10 miles from downtown St. Paul — is the correct venue for urgent cases.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is Arlington Hills Post Office a good choice for north St. Paul residents?

Do I need to make an appointment here for a passport?
