Durango has one main Post Office, and it sits on West 8th Street. That one counter handles first-time passport applications, P.O. Box rentals, general delivery and everything else the Postal Service does in town. If you have only ever mailed a package on the road to somewhere else, the address and hours below will save you a trip.
Where is the post office in Durango?
The Durango Post Office is at 222 W. 8th Street, Durango, CO 81301, according to the USPS location page. The same listing says street parking is available and gives 1-800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777) as the number to call about facility accessibility. Directory sites that copy postal data say lot parking is available instead, so if parking matters to you, call before you drive over. The building carries ZIP 81301, one of three codes in town alongside 81302 and 81303. Which one your own address uses depends on the street, and our ZIP code answer shows how the map divides, which matters when a form asks for the code that matches your mailing address and not the one on the post office door.
What are the Durango post office hours?
USPS lists these hours for the Durango location. The table is what the page showed on Oct. 22, 2026, and an archived copy from November 2025 matched it.
| Service | Monday to Friday | Saturday | Sunday |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lobby and retail counter | 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. | 9 a.m. to noon | Closed |
| Passport appointments | 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. | 9 a.m. to noon | Closed |
| Last collection from the box | 5 p.m. | Noon | Closed |
| P.O. Box access | Until 5 p.m. | Until noon | Closed |
One caution. Third-party directories show longer weekday hours of 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and a Saturday close at 1 p.m. The two sets of numbers do not agree, and USPS is the source that counts, so treat the official listing as the working answer and phone 1-800-ASK-USPS if you are cutting it close. Postal hours also shift around federal holidays.
Can you get a passport or passport photo there?
Yes, by appointment. USPS says the Post Office takes first-time passport applications for the State Department, and most locations also shoot the photo. Renewals are different: if you qualify, you renew by mail or online and cannot do it at the counter. The Durango listing separates passport appointment hours from regular retail hours, so book a slot on the USPS scheduler instead of showing up at the window. Fees, documents and the other place to apply are covered in our answer on where to get a passport in Durango.
How do you rent a P.O. Box in Durango?
You start online. USPS says you find, reserve and pay for a box on its site, then take the completed application and two forms of ID to the Post Office to collect your keys or lock combination. Rentals run for 3, 6 or 12 months. Most Post Offices carry five sizes, from extra small, which holds 10 to 15 letters, to extra large, which fits several packages. Prices depend on the location and which sizes are free, so the USPS P.O. Box page is the place to see what Durango charges. A box suits a few kinds of people, including:
- Rural and canyon addresses where the carrier does not reach the door
- Small businesses that want a street-neutral mailing address
- Seasonal residents and second-home owners who are away for months
- Anyone whose building has no mailbox that the carrier can reach
How do you change your address or hold your mail?
Moving to town or out of it? File the change online at USPS or go to the counter. The agency says you must verify your identity, and a request takes at least 7 to 10 business days to start working (USPS). First-Class Mail and packages are forwarded free. Your bank, the DMV and the voter rolls will not get the memo from USPS, so change those yourself. Our guide to moving to Durango has the full checklist.
Leaving for a trip instead? Hold Mail keeps your letters at the Post Office for 3 to 30 days. You request it online and verify your identity first (USPS Hold Mail).
Where else can you ship or mail things in Durango?
The Post Office is not the only counter. The directory lists the Mail Room & Copy Center at 10 Town Plaza, which is filed as a shipping and mailing service. It is a private business, not a Postal Service branch, so do not expect postal services such as passport applications there. Call first about what it ships and what it charges.
Need government paperwork rather than stamps? The county motor vehicle office and the state license office are separate places, and our DMV answer sorts out which is which.
