Rogersville Post Office

The Rogersville Post Office sits along West Main Street in the heart of this historic Hawkins County town, and it is the most convenient place downtown to submit a first-time U.S. passport application. Staff here act as a passport acceptance agent for the U.S. Department of State: they check your completed DS-11 form, witness your signature, verify your identification, and forward the sealed package to a processing center on your behalf.

Because the counter also handles daily mail, parcels, and money orders, passport applicants are seen by appointment rather than on a walk-in basis. Booking ahead through the official USPS scheduler keeps your visit short and guarantees a clerk is available to complete the oath and paperwork. If you would rather use a county office, the Rogersville passport page lists the alternative acceptance point at the courthouse a few blocks east.

Bring an original proof of citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and payment for the acceptance fee separate from the State Department fees. This branch is a practical starting point for families across the wider Tennessee mountain region who prefer to file close to home.

Schedule your passport appointment through the official USPS tool rather than dropping in, since the clerk who handles applications is not always at the window. First-time applicants and anyone whose previous passport was issued before age 16 must apply in person here. For a side-by-side look at the courthouse option, see the Rogersville office guide.
