Local overview
Getting a passport in Minneapolis
Minneapolis travelers have an advantage when a trip comes up suddenly: the Minneapolis Passport Agency is in the city, with appointments for international travel within 14 days or a foreign visa needed within 28. Chicago's agency, the next nearest, is about 355 miles away. For a first passport, start at an acceptance facility. Downtown, the Loring Post Office on N 12th St and the main post office on S 1st St both hold passport appointments on weekdays; Loring requires one. Just outside the city, Richfield's motor vehicle and passport office at 6700 Portland Ave S works by appointment, and Robbinsdale's at 4100 Lakeview Ave N takes weekday drop-ins and Saturday appointments. Minnesota lets any county vital records office issue births from 1935 on, so the Hennepin County Service Center in the Government Center, 300 S 6th St, can print one. Edina, Bloomington and St. Louis Park have their own pages.

Yes, the Minneapolis Passport Agency, though it's reserved for people with international travel coming up within 14 days or a visa needed within 28. First-time and child applications go to acceptance facilities: the Loring and downtown post offices, or the Richfield and Robbinsdale city offices.
Our in-person office is in Redmond, Washington, so there's no drop-off in Minneapolis. A FedEx shipment does the job instead, with either the label we prepay or one you buy.
If you're leaving within 14 days, the Minneapolis Passport Agency is the fastest path, and you go in yourself. Our couriers need 4 to 10 business days, depending on the speed you pay for, from the day the envelope reaches us.
Any Minnesota county vital records office can issue a Minnesota birth from 1935 on. In Minneapolis, Hennepin County's service centers at the Government Center (300 S 6th St, Suite A-025) and Midtown Exchange (2929 Chicago Ave S) both handle them.
