📖 About this office

The RTP Post Office serves the Research Triangle Park side of Durham at 65 T W Alexander Drive, off I-40 near the sprawling campuses of the region's tech and pharmaceutical employers. It is the convenient choice for commuters and RTP staff who would rather not fight downtown parking for a passport appointment.

Staff accept first-time adult and minor applications, witness signatures, and package DS-11 forms for mailing to the State Department. Given the Park's international workforce, demand for acceptance slots stays steady, so reserving ahead is smart.

Travelers comparing locations can review every option on the Durham passport page before choosing this southern branch.

💡 Good to know

Both parents or legal guardians must appear for a child under 16, or provide the required consent documentation. This branch is handy if you work in the Park; otherwise weigh the statewide North Carolina options for a location closer to home.
