Important Due to Covid-19, processing times for passports are taking longer than normal for both standard and expedited services.

North Dakota Passport Acceptance Facility List

North Dakota has a little over 50 passport offices where U.S. citizens can apply for new passports. While acceptance facilities in most states are located in post offices, the majority of those in North Dakota can be found in offices of the County Recorder or County Clerk of Court. Most do not state that an appointment is required. However, we recommend you call the passport offices before visiting.

Regular processing takes 4 to 6 weeks. Expedited services takes 2 to 3 weeks. The fastest way to get a passport is to schedule an appointment at the Minneapolis Passport Agency. Regional agencies can process application forms as quickly as the same day. Evidence of urgent travel is required.

Applicants who are unable to travel to the regional agency can employ the services of a registered expediter such as Rush My Passport.

COVID-19 UPDATE: Mailing delays are impacting passport processing. The Department of State's processing times begin when applications are received at a passport agency or center and not when you mail them or apply at a local acceptance facility. Standard service may take between 8 and 11 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 5 to 7 weeks exluding mailing times on the front and back end. Mailing delays may be significant so requesting 1-2-day mailing may greatly help.

Regional passport agencies are offering extremely limited in-person services if you need to travel internationally in the next 72 hours. Those with qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized.

Life-or-death emergencies are serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family (parent, legal guardian, child, spouse, sibling, and grandparent) that require you to travel outside the United States within 72 hours (3 business days).

If you need to travel due to a qualified life-or-death emergency, please call the National Passport Information Center for an appointment:

Mondays through Fridays 8 AM to 5PM, call ET 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY:1-888-874-7793) Outside of these hours, 202-647-4000
