📖 About this office
The Dayton Main Post Office at 1111 E. 5th Street is the primary USPS passport acceptance facility serving Montgomery County residents. Situated in downtown Dayton near the Great Miami River corridor, this office handles new applications, first-time applicants, and minor child passports five days a week by appointment.
Acceptance appointments run Monday through Friday between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Because slots fill quickly — especially in spring travel season — applicants should book well ahead at the Dayton passport offices page or call 937-227-1120 directly. Staff review DS-11 forms, verify identification documents, and collect the government fee; separate checks or money orders are required for the acceptance fee and the State Department fee.
Dayton sits entirely within Montgomery County and does not have a dedicated passport agency nearby; the nearest facility for urgent or life-or-death travel is the Detroit Passport Agency, roughly 210 miles north. For a full picture of acceptance options across the state, the Ohio passport offices guide lists verified locations by region.
💡 Good to know
Appointments are required and often book up two to three weeks out during busy seasons. Call 937-227-1120 to schedule or use the USPS online scheduler. Bring a completed DS-11 form (do not sign it ahead of time), two recent passport photos, proof of citizenship, valid government-issued photo ID, and a photocopy of that ID. Fees must be paid separately — one money order or check to the U.S. Department of State, another to "U.S. Postal Service" for the acceptance fee.
