Passport Acceptance Offices in Gillette, Wyoming

Gillette is the seat of Campbell County in northeastern Wyoming, the heart of the state's coal and energy country, and there are two straightforward ways to apply for a passport here without leaving town. The Gillette passport locations cover both a federal option and a county option, so most first-time applicants and families renewing before a trip can be handled locally.

The downtown post office on South Kendrick Avenue accepts applications by appointment, which suits people who want fixed scheduling. The Campbell County Clerk of District Court, in the county building on South Gillette Avenue, accepts applications on a walk-in basis during posted counter hours — a good fit if you would rather not book ahead. Neither offers passport photos on site, so plan to get those at a nearby pharmacy or photo shop first.

Because Wyoming has no federal passport agency of its own, anyone facing urgent travel within two weeks would drive to the nearest agency serving Wyoming, the Colorado Passport Agency in Centennial (south of Denver), roughly a 4.5–5 hour trip. For all routine applications, though, applying right here in Gillette and letting the application process by mail is far simpler.

All applicants named on an application must appear in person, and children must be present with both parents or with the required consent documents. Since neither Gillette office takes passport photos, get a compliant 2x2 photo beforehand. Instead of checking each office page, find fees, required documents and processing times on the Wyoming passport guide. Compare the two Gillette offices to pick appointment-based or walk-in service.
