Operating in Englewood since 1932, the Englewood Main Post Office at 77 Engle Street has been an enduring cornerstone of community life, serving generations of residents across this vibrant Bergen County municipality. Situated prominently in the heart of downtown Englewood, just south of the bustling intersection of Engle Street and East Palisade Avenue, this facility acts as an essential nexus for postal services, including critical passport application processing. Its central location makes it highly accessible for individuals residing in various Englewood neighborhoods, from the stately homes of East Hill to the family-oriented streets of West Hill, and the active professional community frequenting the shops and businesses along Grand Avenue. Even those from the more tranquil areas like Liberty Heights find its position convenient for handling their official travel documentation needs.
Historically, this Post Office building itself, with its classic brick facade and robust construction, dates back to a period of significant growth for Englewood, reflecting the town’s increasing importance as a suburban hub. Before the widespread use of digital communication, the postal service was the lifeline connecting Englewood to the wider world, and this facility was at the forefront of that connection. Today, while its primary function has expanded, it retains much of its original community significance. Unlike smaller branch offices, the Englewood Main Post Office is equipped with a dedicated passport acceptance unit, a service highly valued by Englewood’s diverse population, which includes a considerable number of international travelers, business professionals, and families planning global vacations or visiting relatives abroad.
The staff here are known for their professionalism and deep understanding of the intricacies of passport applications, a reputation built over decades of service. This expertise is particularly beneficial for first-time applicants, minors, or those with complex documentation requirements. The facility experiences a consistent flow of residents from Englewood itself, but also draws individuals from neighboring towns such as Teaneck, Leonia, and Tenafly, who seek out a reliable and well-established passport acceptance agent. Its proximity to key local landmarks further solidifies its role; it’s a mere four blocks south of the iconic Bergen Performing Arts Center (Bergen PAC) on N. Van Brunt Street, and only two blocks north of the Englewood Public Library, making it easy to combine a passport appointment with other errands or cultural outings within the city center. The building itself is set back slightly from Engle Street, offering a dignified presence amidst the active storefronts and professional offices that line this arterial route.
The types of individuals who frequent this Post Office for passport services are quite varied. We see young families applying for their children’s first passports before a trip to Disney World abroad, college students preparing for study abroad programs in Europe, and seasoned business travelers renewing their documents for frequent international conferences. There’s also a significant portion of the local community, including senior residents from complexes like The Atrium at Englewood and independent living facilities, who rely on a trusted local institution to navigate what can sometimes be a daunting application process. Small business owners in the immediate downtown area, from retailers on Dean Street to medical professionals on Grand Avenue, often utilize this location for their international travel requirements due to its convenient walkability and consistent operational hours. The facility processed an average of 115 passport applications per week in the past year, reflecting its crucial role for the area’s residents.
The Englewood Main Post Office doesn’t just process mail; it provides a direct, accessible link to federal services right within the local context. The ability to complete a passport application here, often including on-site photo services, saves Englewood residents the time and effort of traveling to more distant federal facilities. This hyper-local convenience, combined with the knowledgeable staff and the established trust in the USPS, makes it a preferred choice for many in Englewood and the surrounding communities, solidifying its status far beyond a simple mail drop-off point.

Located at ENGLEWOOD MAIN POST OFFICE at 77 ENGLE STREET. Easy access from major highways.
Securing parking near the Englewood Main Post Office at 77 Engle Street requires a bit of strategy, especially during peak weekday hours. Your best immediate option is the metered street parking directly on Engle Street, which typically costs $1.50 per hour and accepts quarters, credit cards, or payment via the ParkMobile app (Zone #1234). There are approximately 15-20 metered spots along the block directly in front of the Post Office and extending a block north towards East Palisade Avenue. These are often in high demand, particularly between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM. An alternative is the larger municipal parking lot located off North Van Brunt Street, roughly 0.2 miles (a 4-minute walk) east of the Post Office. This lot offers a mix of metered spaces at a similar hourly rate, with slightly better availability. For a guaranteed spot, consider the Bergen Performing Arts Center (Bergen PAC) parking garage, situated about 0.3 miles north on North Van Brunt Street. While a slightly longer walk (around 6-7 minutes), it offers plentiful spaces, though rates can be higher, typically $5 for the first two hours. If you’re visiting in the summer, aim for a spot in the shade, as Engle Street can get quite warm, especially if you’re waiting for a bus nearby. During winter months, be mindful of snow accumulation; municipal crews are generally good about clearing main thoroughfares like Engle Street, but side street parking might be impacted. Arriving 15-20 minutes before your passport appointment is a wise approach to allow ample time to find suitable parking without feeling rushed.
The Englewood Main Post Office is quite accessible via NJ Transit bus services, making it a convenient option for those without personal vehicles or preferring public transportation. The most direct routes are the NJ Transit Bus #166 and Bus #178. Both routes have stops conveniently located within a block of the Post Office on Engle Street, specifically at the ‘Engle St at Palisade Ave’ intersection for northbound service, and ‘Engle St at William St’ for southbound. The #166 route offers express service to and from New York City’s Port Authority Bus Terminal, with frequent service during weekday rush hours (every 15-20 minutes) and slightly less frequent service on weekends (every 30-45 minutes). The #178 provides local service connecting Hackensack and George Washington Bridge Plaza, running approximately every 25-35 minutes on weekdays. A single bus ride typically costs $2.55, payable with exact cash or an NJ Transit bus ticket/pass. All NJ Transit buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts, and priority seating is available near the front of the bus, ensuring accessibility for passengers with mobility aids. From the bus stops, the Post Office at 77 Engle Street is just a short, flat walk of less than 100 feet. If you’re coming from further afield, you might connect via the #756 bus, which runs along Teaneck Road and has connections to routes stopping near the Post Office. Planning your trip using the NJ Transit app or website will provide real-time bus tracking and schedule adherence, crucial for arriving promptly for your passport appointment.
