The Yuma Post Office at 2222 SOUTH 4TH AVE serves a broad and diverse demographic across southwestern Arizona, acting as a crucial touchpoint for federal services beyond traditional mail delivery. This facility is strategically located just south of the busy 4th Avenue and 24th Street intersection, positioning it as a convenient resource for residents of neighborhoods like Desert Hills, Fortuna Foothills, and the growing communities extending towards the Foothills area. Its placement on one of Yuma’s primary commercial arteries makes it easily accessible for individuals traveling from West Yuma via Avenue B or those coming from the eastern residential developments near Avenue 3E.
For decades, this post office has been integral to the daily lives of countless Yuma residents. Its history traces back to the city’s significant post-World War II expansion, mirroring Yuma’s transformation from a smaller agricultural hub into a strategic military outpost and a thriving winter visitor destination. While the building itself might not boast the turn-of-the-century grandeur of historic downtown structures, it represents a period of modern civic development in Yuma, designed for efficiency and broad community access. The original parcel of land was acquired in the early 1960s, a time when Yuma’s population was experiencing consistent growth, necessitating more localized federal services outside the immediate downtown core. This specific location was chosen due to its proximity to burgeoning residential zones and its direct access via 4th Avenue, which was already becoming a key transportation corridor.
The Yuma Post Office caters to a fascinating mix of users. During the peak winter months, from October through April, a significant portion of its clientele includes ‘snowbirds’ – temporary residents who flock to Yuma to escape colder climates. These individuals frequently utilize passport services for international travel, often to Mexico for short trips or further afield, requiring either new passport applications or renewals. The facility also sees a steady flow of military personnel and their families from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, located a mere 5.5 miles southwest, who often require expedited passport services for official orders or personal international travel. Additionally, students from Arizona Western College and Northern Arizona University – Yuma Branch, situated just 1.5 miles north, rely on this post office for passport acquisition as they explore study abroad programs or post-graduation international opportunities. Agricultural workers, a fundamental part of Yuma’s economy, also utilize passport services for family travel or to maintain essential documents.
Beyond its core postal functions, the designation as a Passport Acceptance Facility elevates its standing within the community. It means that residents do not have to travel to the distant Clerk of the Superior Court office for initial passport applications, saving them significant time and navigating unfamiliar government buildings. The staff here are well-versed in the intricate requirements of passport application processing, offering guidance that is particularly valuable for first-time applicants. This personalized assistance, often bilingual given Yuma’s proximity to the border, is a defining aspect of the service provided here. The facility offers on-site passport photo services, a convenience that streamlines the application process considerably for many applicants who would otherwise need to make a separate trip to a photo studio or pharmacy.
Local landmarks within a short distance include the Yuma Palms Regional Center, approximately 1.8 miles north on 4th Avenue, offering shopping and dining options for errands before or after an appointment. The Desert Hills Golf Course is just 1.2 miles to the southeast, often drawing early morning clientele. Directly across 4th Avenue, roughly 0.1 miles west, sits a Fry’s Food and Drug, providing easy access for groceries or a quick bite. The nearby Foothills Bank, less than 0.1 mile away, is convenient for those needing to secure a money order for passport fees. This Yuma Post Office location truly embodies community service, connecting residents to essential federal travel documents right in their local neighborhood.

Located at YUMA POST OFFICE at 2222 SOUTH 4TH AVE. Easy access from major highways.
Parking at the Yuma Post Office at 2222 South 4th Avenue is generally straightforward, thanks to its expansive, dedicated surface parking lot directly in front of the building. This lot, accessible directly from South 4th Avenue, features approximately 60 marked spaces, including several designated for accessible parking, making it convenient for all visitors. During off-peak hours, such as mid-mornings or late afternoons, finding a spot is rarely an issue. However, peak times, particularly between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM on weekdays and especially around lunchtime, can see the lot fill up quickly. For passport appointments, it’s highly advisable to arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure a favorable spot, especially one offering a bit of shade from the intense Yuma sun. While street parking is technically available on West 24th Street or South 5th Avenue, it’s unnecessary as the on-site lot is free and abundant. Yuma’s extreme summer temperatures, often exceeding 105°F, mean seeking shade is paramount, so consider parking further from the entrance if a shaded spot is available, even if it adds an extra 50-foot walk. In the cooler winter months, parking is less of a concern, but the lot can still get busy with ‘snowbird’ traffic.
Public transportation options to the Yuma Post Office at 2222 South 4th Avenue are readily available via Yuma County Area Transit (YCAT). The most direct route is YCAT Route 2, known as the ‘Orange Route,’ which travels along South 4th Avenue. There is a convenient YCAT bus stop located directly in front of the post office, at the intersection of South 4th Avenue and West 22nd Street, making it an extremely accessible destination. Passengers can exit the bus and are practically at the facility’s doorstep, requiring a walk of less than 100 feet to the main entrance. Route 2 operates roughly every 30 to 45 minutes on weekdays, from approximately 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, with slightly reduced service on Saturdays. A single ride costs $1.50, and a day pass is available for $4.00, providing unlimited rides across the YCAT system. All YCAT buses are fully ADA compliant, equipped with wheelchair ramps and securement areas, ensuring that the facility is accessible to individuals with mobility challenges. Additionally, YCAT Route 5 (the ‘Purple Route’) also runs along 4th Avenue, offering an alternative for those coming from different parts of the city, with a similar stop nearby.
