Vallejo Post Office Passport Services

Once your passport application is submitted at the Vallejo Post Office, it is physically mailed to a processing center. You can track its status online via the U.S. Department of State’s website using the tracking number provided on your receipt, which typically begins to show activity 7-10 business days after submission. Alternatively, you can call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778. Remember, the Vallejo Post Office itself does not have access to real-time processing updates beyond confirming submission; all tracking is handled at the federal level once the application leaves 2635 NAPA ST. Keep your receipt safe, as it contains this vital tracking information.

Passport photos must adhere to strict U.S. Department of State guidelines to be accepted. Each photo needs to be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size, printed on matte or glossy photo quality paper, and taken within the last six months. Your head should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm to 35 mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The Vallejo Post Office does not offer on-site photo services, so applicants must bring compliant photos with them. Local pharmacies like CVS Pharmacy at 2485 Napa Street or Walgreens on Sonoma Boulevard can typically provide compliant photos, ensuring your application proceeds smoothly.

While the Vallejo Post Office occasionally accommodates walk-in passport services if an appointment slot unexpectedly opens due to a cancellation or no-show, this is not a guaranteed service. Passport acceptance is by appointment only, and the staff at 2635 NAPA ST prioritize scheduled applicants. To avoid significant wait times, or potentially being turned away, it is strongly recommended that you schedule an appointment in advance through the USPS online appointment scheduler. This ensures dedicated staff time for your application, preventing unnecessary delays and travel. Trying your luck as a walk-in, especially during peak hours like weekday lunchtimes, is generally not advisable.

If your child, defined as anyone under 16, needs a passport, both parents must typically be present to apply at the Vallejo Post Office. Both parents must sign the DS-11 application form in front of a passport acceptance agent. Each parent also needs to bring their valid government-issued identification, along with proof of their relationship to the child (like the child’s original birth certificate) and their child’s proof of U.S. citizenship. If one parent cannot be present, a notarized Consent Form DS-3053 from the absent parent, along with a copy of their ID, is required. The staff at Window 3 are highly experienced with minor applications and can guide you through the specific requirements.

Yes, parking is indeed available and generally convenient at the Vallejo Post Office. The facility features a free, dedicated parking lot directly on its west side, offering approximately 35 spaces for patrons. This lot is accessed directly from Napa Street, making it easy to pull in and find a spot, particularly during off-peak hours. Should the main lot be full, which can occur during busy periods like mid-afternoons on weekdays, there is metered street parking along Napa Street, costing $1.50 per hour. Additionally, free residential street parking is available just a block south on streets like Ohio Street, requiring only a brief walk back to the post office at 2635 NAPA ST. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to secure a suitable parking spot.

Parking for the Vallejo Post Office is relatively straightforward, though strategy can help during peak hours. The facility offers a dedicated, free 35-space parking lot immediately adjacent to the building on its west side, accessible directly from Napa Street. This lot typically has available spaces, especially if your appointment is mid-morning or early afternoon. However, during the lunch rush (11:30 AM – 1:30 PM) or after 4:00 PM on weekdays, it can fill up quickly. For overflow, metered street parking is available along Napa Street, costing $1.50 per hour with a two-hour maximum, enforceable Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. These meters accept quarters or payment via the ParkMobile app (Zone 9450). Alternatively, ample free street parking exists on residential side streets like Ohio Street or Kentucky Street, both just one block south of Napa Street, requiring a short 0.15-mile walk (about 3 minutes). During the summer months, temperatures in Vallejo can exceed 90°F, so consider parking as close as possible to minimize your exposure to the sun. In winter, while ice is rare, rain can be heavy, making the closest lot parking desirable.
