📖 About this office
The Minot Main Post Office at 117 5th Ave SW is the USPS passport acceptance point in the city and a natural counterpart to the county recorder's office downtown. Like most USPS locations, it handles the DS-11 application in person for first-time applicants and children, and it can take your passport photo during the same visit — handy if you'd rather do everything in one stop.
Passport service here is by appointment, arranged by phone or through the USPS online scheduler rather than as a walk-in. If your travel dates are far off, applying here and using routine mail service is the simplest route; for urgent trips, remember the only agency serving North Dakota residents is in distant Minneapolis.
💡 Good to know
Book ahead — this office requires an appointment for passports, which you can set up through the USPS scheduler or by calling the office. Arrive with your unsigned DS-11, citizenship proof, and ID; you can add the photo here if you haven't already. Compare it with the Ward County Recorder to pick the office that suits your schedule.
