Local overview

Getting a passport in Sioux Falls

Sioux Falls travelers with an urgent trip look to the Minneapolis Passport Agency in Minnesota, about 200 miles northeast, or the Chicago Passport Agency in Illinois, about 475 miles east; both see applicants only when travel is within 14 days or a visa is due within 28. For a routine first passport, the Meadows Postal Store post office at 2501 S Louise Ave, in Sioux Falls itself, schedules passport appointments, and the Brandon post office on E Aspen Blvd, about 9 miles away, does too. In South Dakota, a county register of deeds can issue any South Dakota birth certificate, and the Minnehaha County Register of Deeds at 415 N Dakota Ave handles them in Sioux Falls. No agency is planned for South Dakota, so an urgent trip means an appointment in another state.
