The USPS Herndon Post Office at 821 HERNDON AVE serves the passport needs of residents in the Colonialtown North, Baldwin Park, and Audubon Park neighborhoods of Orlando. Situated just off East Colonial Drive (State Road 50), near the intersection with Bumby Avenue, this post office provides crucial passport application and photo services to a diverse clientele, ranging from young families planning international vacations to seniors updating their travel documents. The area is a mix of established residential blocks and increasingly popular commercial strips, with businesses like Hhcs Health Group and CVS Pharmacy within a five-minute walk. Unlike some larger passport processing centers, the Herndon Avenue location offers a more intimate, community-focused experience, often preferred by individuals who appreciate a less hectic environment. A historical marker denoting the original Orlando Citrus Growers Association building, located just three blocks west on Colonial Drive, adds to the area’s local flavor. The facility is particularly convenient for residents living east of downtown Orlando, saving them a trip into the often-congested city center. With the burgeoning popularity of the Milk District nearby, and ongoing residential development along Curry Ford Road, the USPS Herndon Post Office is well-positioned to continue serving the growing passport needs of this vibrant and evolving part of Orlando. Many families living in the houses built in the 1950s and 60s in the Lake Eola Heights Historic District find this branch conveniently located for obtaining passport services, avoiding the need to drive further into downtown Orlando and navigate the courthouse area. Further, its location near Orlando Fashion Square mall means many residents combine errands into one trip. The proximity to Bishop Moore Catholic High School also means a surge of student passport applications occurs during school breaks and summer vacation. This location also serves as a pick-up point for those who need to have their USPS packages held while out of town, especially during the busy holiday season. A small park named Constitution Green is about a mile to the west, a popular spot for downtown workers to have lunch, and this post office is frequently used by people visiting that park. The Herndon Post Office also serves many international students and faculty at nearby University of Central Florida and Valencia College, who frequently need to renew or apply for passports. The location’s hours of operation, which include Saturday morning service, make it a particularly useful option for working professionals who may not be able to visit during traditional weekday business hours. This local post office serves an important function in the community, providing essential postal and passport services in a conveniently located and accessible manner. The neighborhood benefits from its presence, as it avoids long drives to the main downtown post office or other more distant locations. Furthermore, with the increased popularity of international travel, particularly among younger generations, the Herndon Post Office is likely to remain a crucial provider of passport services for years to come, supporting both the local economy and the ability of Orlando residents to explore the world.
Note: The office is closed on all federal holidays. Call ahead at 4078973469.0 to confirm hours before visiting.

Parking at the USPS Herndon Post Office is relatively straightforward. The facility offers a dedicated 24-space parking lot directly in front of the building, accessible from Herndon Avenue. Spaces are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. During peak hours, particularly between 11 AM and 2 PM on weekdays, and Saturday mornings, parking can become limited. If the lot is full, street parking is available on Herndon Avenue and surrounding streets, such as Cathcart Street, but be mindful of posted time restrictions, which are typically two-hour limits between 8 AM and 6 PM, Monday through Friday. For longer appointments or if you prefer guaranteed parking, consider the metered parking on Colonial Drive, approximately 0.2 miles south of the post office. These meters cost $2 per hour and are enforced Monday through Saturday from 7 AM to 7 PM. During the summer months, the asphalt parking lot can become quite hot, so consider parking in a shaded area if possible. In the event of heavy rain, be cautious of potential pooling in low-lying areas of the parking lot. If you arrive early for your appointment and find the lot full, consider circling the block a few times or waiting briefly in a nearby parking spot until a space becomes available, as turnover is generally quite frequent.
The USPS Herndon Post Office is accessible via several public transportation options. The Lynx bus route 102 stops directly in front of the post office on Herndon Avenue, with service running approximately every 30 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak times. A single ride costs $2, and a day pass is available for $4.50. The bus stop is wheelchair accessible. Alternatively, the Lynx bus route 125 has a stop at the intersection of Colonial Drive and Bumby Avenue, approximately 0.1 miles from the post office. From there, walk north on Bumby Avenue, then turn right onto Herndon Avenue to reach the facility. The nearest SunRail station is the LYNX Central Station, located approximately 2.4 miles west of the post office. From the station, you can transfer to the Lynx bus route 102 to reach the post office directly. The SunRail offers service every 30 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak times. A one-way fare ranges from $2 to $5 depending on the distance traveled. The LYNX Central Station is fully accessible, with elevators and ramps available. For those with mobility limitations, it is recommended to utilize the Lynx bus route 102 directly from downtown Orlando to avoid a longer walk from the Colonial Drive bus stop. Real-time bus schedules and route information are available on the Lynx website or app.
