The USPS Kendall Finance Unit at 8821 SW 136TH ST in Miami serves the diverse communities of Kendall, Briar Bay, and the surrounding areas west of the Turnpike. Located at the intersection of SW 136th Street and SW 88th Avenue, a busy commercial and residential area, this facility is frequented by families, seniors, and business professionals seeking passport services. The branch sits directly across the street from the sprawling Briar Bay Shopping Center anchored by a Publix supermarket. Historically, this area was largely agricultural before suburban development took hold in the late 20th century. The Kendall Finance Unit, having been a fixture for over two decades, has grown alongside the community, providing essential postal and passport services to residents of Three Lakes and the surrounding gated communities. The Florida Keys Outlet Marketplace is located approximately 4 miles to the south on US-1 and attracts many visitors to the area, some of whom utilize the passport services at this location. The bustling commercial corridor along SW 88th Street, also known as Kendall Drive, contributes to the high foot traffic in the vicinity of the post office, ensuring a steady stream of customers requiring passport application assistance and photo services. Evenings and weekends see a surge in activity, with many families taking advantage of the extended hours to complete their passport applications. Additionally, the proximity to several large condominium complexes and apartment buildings on SW 137th Avenue means many nearby residents can easily walk or bike to the facility.
Note: The office is closed on all federal holidays. Call ahead at 3052357172.0 to confirm hours before visiting.

Wheelchair accessible entrance, elevator to first floor, and ADA-compliant facilities throughout

Parking at the USPS Kendall Finance Unit is generally straightforward, with a dedicated 35-space parking lot directly in front of the building, accessible from SW 136th Street. While the lot is free, it can become quite congested, especially during midday hours and on Saturdays. An overflow parking area is available on the east side of the building, adding another 15 spaces, but this area is unpaved and can be muddy after rainfall. During peak times, street parking is available on SW 88th Avenue, a block west of the facility, but be mindful of the ‘No Parking’ zones and time restrictions, which are strictly enforced. In the summer months, be prepared for the intense Miami heat; it’s advisable to bring an umbrella for shade while walking from your car to the building. Conversely, during the rainy season (June-November), be aware that the parking lot can accumulate puddles. For those with appointments, arriving 15-20 minutes early is recommended to secure a parking spot and avoid rushing.
Public transportation to the USPS Kendall Finance Unit is accessible via the Miami-Dade Transit system. Bus Route 136, which runs along SW 136th Street, has a stop directly in front of the facility (‘SW 136 St & SW 88 Av’). This bus operates every 30 minutes during peak hours and every 45 minutes during off-peak times. Alternatively, Bus Route 88, traveling along SW 88th Avenue (Kendall Drive), stops one block west of the facility at the intersection of SW 88th Avenue and SW 136th Street. This route runs every 20 minutes during peak hours. A single ride on Miami-Dade Transit costs $2.25, payable with an EASY Card or EASY Ticket, or via the GO Miami-Dade Transit app. Both bus routes are equipped with wheelchair lifts and priority seating for seniors and individuals with disabilities. The nearest Metrorail station is Dadeland South, approximately 4 miles east of the facility; from there, connect to Bus Route 136 to reach the USPS Kendall Finance Unit.

Entering through USPS Kendall Finance Unit’s main doors, which face directly onto SW 136th Street, you’ll find a well-lit and generally bustling environment, especially during peak hours between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. The entrance is a single automatic door, easily accessible for individuals with mobility devices. Immediately to your right, you’ll see a customer service counter with three windows, window number two being the designated passport application processing station. It is best to check in with a postal worker who is behind the counter near window one to announce your arrival, even with an appointment. The layout is fairly straightforward: a waiting area with approximately 10-12 chairs is situated directly ahead of the entrance. The passport application process, once you are called, typically takes between 20-25 minutes, depending on the complexity of your application and whether you need passport photos taken on site. The facility is fully ADA compliant, featuring wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and ample maneuvering space throughout. Forms are available at a small table near the entrance, though it’s recommended to complete them in advance to save time. Note that the lighting can be somewhat bright, so those with light sensitivity may want to bring sunglasses.
