Rocky Mount Main Post Office

The Rocky Mount Main Post Office on East Raleigh Boulevard is the city's busiest passport acceptance counter, close to downtown on the Edgecombe-county side of town. Its acceptance agents handle the documents-and-signature step for first-time applicants, children, and travelers replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged passport, then mail the completed package to the State Department for you. If you would rather apply somewhere quieter, the other option in town is Braswell Memorial Library.

Applications here are handled by appointment, which you schedule online through the USPS scheduler or by phone. Come with your completed but unsigned DS-11, original proof of citizenship, a photo ID and a photocopy of it, and separate payment for the acceptance fee and the passport fee. What to bring and the statewide fee amounts are both on the North Carolina passport page.

Parking is on-site and easy at this Raleigh Boulevard location. Because appointment windows fill quickly, book a week or two ahead, especially in spring and early summer. Confirm whether photos are taken at the counter when you schedule; if not, bring a compliant 2x2 photo. Prefer a non-postal setting? Compare the Rocky Mount acceptance options before you book.
