📖 About this office
The Sainte Genevieve Post Office sits on Merchant Street in the heart of Missouri's oldest permanent European settlement, a short walk from the historic district's French colonial homes. It is the town's designated USPS passport acceptance location, where a postal clerk reviews and witnesses first-time applications before forwarding them to the U.S. State Department.
Because this is an acceptance facility rather than a full agency, staff verify your paperwork and identity but do not issue the passport itself. You submit form DS-11 unsigned, present a certified birth certificate and a valid photo ID, and the clerk seals the packet for mailing. Residents across Ste. Genevieve and the surrounding river-bluff towns rely on this office rather than driving up to St. Louis.
Passport service here runs by appointment through the USPS scheduler, so book your slot before arriving and bring a second office as a backup on busy weeks. See other options across the state on our Missouri passport offices page.
💡 Good to know
Schedule your acceptance appointment through the USPS booking tool at tools.usps.com/rcas rather than dropping in, since acceptance agents are not always on duty. Bring two separate payments — one check to the U.S. Department of State for the application fee and one for the postal execution fee. If the calendar here is full, the nearby Ste. Genevieve County Health Department also accepts applications.
