Lindsay Post Office Passport Services

The Lindsay Post Office, like most passport acceptance facilities, primarily handles applications for new passports (Form DS-11) and those for minors. If you possess a previous passport that was issued less than 15 years ago, you were at least 16 years old at the time of issuance, and it is undamaged, you can typically renew by mail using Form DS-82. This facility does not directly process DS-82 renewal forms. However, the knowledgeable staff at 262 E. Honolulu Street can certainly answer questions about the renewal process and confirm if your specific situation qualifies for renewal by mail. They can also assist with obtaining a new passport if your previous one is expired beyond the 15-year window or significantly damaged.

Absolutely, for a minor’s passport (applicants under 16), both parents or legal guardians are generally required to appear in person with the child at the Lindsay Post Office. This ensures compliance with parental consent requirements. You will both need to present valid government-issued identification and provide proof of your parental relationship, such as the child’s original birth certificate. If only one parent can appear, the absent parent must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053). The passport acceptance agents at the E. Honolulu Street facility are well-versed in these specific regulations and will meticulously guide you through the necessary steps, ensuring all forms are correctly completed before submission, offering peace of mind to Lindsay families.

Yes, the Lindsay Post Office on E. Honolulu Street offers convenient on-site passport photo services for an additional fee of $15. This can be particularly helpful as it ensures your photos meet all the strict U.S. Department of State requirements for size, background, and facial expression, saving you an extra trip. Many applicants appreciate this integrated service, especially those coming from rural areas around Lindsay. However, if you prefer, you can certainly bring your own passport photos, provided they adhere to all official guidelines. The staff will quickly verify their compliance during your appointment to prevent any processing delays. It’s an efficient way to handle all aspects of your application in one visit.

After your passport application has been processed and mailed by the Lindsay Post Office, you will receive a tracking number from the U.S. Department of State. You can then visit the official Department of State website and use their online Passport Application Status System to monitor the progress of your application. You’ll need your last name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security Number to access the status. While the Post Office staff can’t track your application once it leaves their facility, they will provide you with all the necessary information and contact numbers at your appointment, ensuring you know exactly how to check for updates. Typically, it takes a few business days after your appointment for the tracking number to become active.

Yes, parking is readily available and quite convenient for visitors to the Lindsay Post Office. You’ll find a dedicated, free 18-space parking lot located directly behind the building, accessible from Elmwood Avenue. This is generally the easiest option. Additionally, there are several free street parking spaces along E. Honolulu Street right in front of the Post Office, typically with a two-hour limit, which is more than enough time for your passport appointment. Unlike larger facilities, you won’t encounter any paid parking garages or meters here, ensuring your visit remains free of unexpected parking fees. We strongly recommend using the rear lot or E. Honolulu Street spots for the most direct access.

Navigating parking for your passport appointment at the Lindsay Post Office is generally straightforward, particularly when compared to larger urban centers. The most convenient option is the dedicated, free 18-space parking lot situated directly behind the building, accessible via Elmwood Avenue. Elmwood Avenue runs north-south, perpendicular to E. Honolulu Street, and the lot entrance is clearly marked about 50 feet south of the E. Honolulu Street intersection. This lot rarely fills completely, even during peak morning hours between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, making it the recommended choice for a hassle-free visit. Should the rear lot be unexpectedly full, which is rare, ample free street parking is available along E. Honolulu Street itself, directly in front of the Post Office. These spaces typically have a two-hour limit, more than sufficient for a passport appointment. Additional free street parking can be found on Sweetbriar Avenue, just one block east, offering a negligible walking distance of approximately 0.1 miles. There are no paid parking meters or garages in the immediate vicinity, eliminating any unexpected costs. For those visiting during the summer months (June-September), Lindsay experiences significant heat, often exceeding 100°F. It is advisable to arrive a few minutes early to secure a spot directly in front or in the rear lot to minimize walking in direct sun. Conversely, winter mornings can be foggy and occasionally chilly, so factor in a few extra minutes for visibility and dress appropriately. Overall, parking at this facility is a stress-free aspect of your visit.
