Wyoming Passport Offices & Regional Agencies

IMPORTANT: For urgent travel (within 14 days), you cannot use a standard acceptance facility like a post office. You must make an appointment at a Regional Passport Agency. The closest one to Wyoming is in Aurora, Colorado.

Living in Wyoming offers wide open spaces and breathtaking scenery, but it also means you are far from major government hubs. When you need a passport urgently, this geographic isolation becomes a logistical challenge. In 2026, the strategy for getting a passport in Wyoming depends entirely on how soon you are traveling.

Scenario 1: Travel is MORE than 6 weeks away

If you have plenty of time, you can apply at a local "Acceptance Facility." These are typically post offices, clerks of court, or public libraries. They will verify your documents, witness your signature on the DS-11, and mail your application to the processing center.

Key Acceptance Facilities in Wyoming:

Cheyenne:
- Main Post Office: 2120 Capitol Ave, Cheyenne, WY 82001. Appointment required.
- Laramie County Clerk of Court: 309 W 20th St, Cheyenne, WY 82001.
Casper:
- Casper Main Post Office: 411 N Forest Dr, Casper, WY 82609.
- Natrona County Clerk: 200 N Center St, Casper, WY 82601.
Laramie:
- University Station Post Office: 1000 E University Ave, Laramie, WY 82071.
- Albany County Clerk: 525 Grand Ave, Laramie, WY 82070.
Jackson:
- Jackson Post Office: 1070 Maple Way, Jackson, WY 83001.
- Teton County Clerk: 200 S Willow St, Jackson, WY 83001.

Scenario 2: Travel is LESS than 14 days away (URGENT)

This is where things get tricky. The acceptance facilities listed above cannot print your passport. They only mail applications. Mailing takes time—even expedited mail takes 2-3 weeks minimum. If you fly out in 3 days, mailing your application is a disaster.

You must go to a Regional Passport Agency. These are federal offices that print passports on-site, usually the same day or next day.

The Closest Agency: Colorado Passport Agency

For most Wyoming residents, the closest agency is in the Denver metro area.

Address: Cherry Creek III, 3151 South Vaughn Way, Suite 600, Aurora, CO 80014.
Distance from Cheyenne: Approx. 100 miles (1 hour 45 min drive).
Distance from Casper: Approx. 280 miles (4 hours drive).
Appointment: Required. Call 1-877-487-2778.

Logistics for the Colorado Agency

If you secure an appointment at the Colorado agency, treat it seriously. Traffic in Denver can be unpredictable. Leave early. The office is located in a business park (Cherry Creek III). Parking is available but can be tight.

Documents: Bring your proof of travel (flight itinerary) showing departure within 14 days. Without it, the guards will not let you in. Also bring your completed DS-11, proof of citizenship, ID, and photos.

Other Regional Options

If you cannot get an appointment in Aurora, check these agencies. Flights from Cheyenne (CYS), Casper (CPR), or Jackson (JAC) might make them viable options:

Seattle Passport Agency: 300 5th Avenue, Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98104.
San Francisco Passport Agency: 450 Golden Gate Ave, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94102.
Chicago Passport Agency: 101 W Congress Pkwy, 9th Floor, Chicago, IL 60605.
Minneapolis Passport Agency: 212 3rd Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55401.

Conclusion

For routine service, stick to your local post office. But for urgent travel, you must be prepared to travel to Aurora. It is the only way to guarantee a passport in hand before your flight.
