📖 About this office
The Newark Main Post Office at 70 East Church Street sits in the heart of Licking County's seat, a short drive east of Heath and the busiest USPS acceptance point serving the two communities. Because Newark anchors the county, this branch tends to have more acceptance appointment slots than smaller neighboring offices, which makes it a practical backup when the Heath municipal counter is fully booked.
As a USPS passport acceptance facility, the office reviews first-time applications, verifies your identity and documents, witnesses your signature, and forwards the sealed packet for processing. It cannot issue a passport on the spot — that step happens at a federal processing center — but it is the front door for anyone in the Newark–Heath area starting a new application or applying on behalf of a child.
Applicants weighing their options can compare this branch with the city-run counter listed on our Heath page, or scan the full roster of acceptance agents throughout Ohio to find the location and appointment time that fits their schedule.
💡 Good to know
Book your slot in advance through the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas rather than walking in, since acceptance windows are limited and fill up. Bring your completed DS-11, proof of citizenship, a valid photo ID, and a photocopy of that ID. Families should note that children under 16 must attend with both parents where possible. For an alternative closer to home, the City of Heath Auditor's Office also accepts applications by appointment.
