The Savannah community relies on the Savannah Post Office at 705 Water Street for essential postal services, including passport application assistance. Situated downtown, a block south of Main Street and the Hardin County Courthouse, it serves residents from the historic Court Square area to neighborhoods along Pickwick Street and bordering the Tennessee River. This particular post office is utilized by a diverse demographic, ranging from young families needing first-time passports for international travel to senior citizens renewing passports for cruises departing from Memphis, roughly 115 miles to the west. Many local business owners, especially those connected to the tourism around Pickwick Landing State Park, also use this facility for expedited passport services to attend international trade shows or conferences. The Savannah Post Office distinguishes itself by its consistent, friendly service, even during peak seasons. The building itself has a long history, originally erected in the early 1960s to replace the previous, smaller post office located on Main Street. A significant number of visitors come from surrounding unincorporated communities like Crump and Saltillo, as those areas lack dedicated passport facilities. The proximity to the Tennessee River Museum, less than a quarter mile to the east, makes it easy for tourists visiting the museum to also handle their passport needs, sometimes opting for passport photos taken at a nearby drugstore instead of planning a separate trip. The Post Office also serves students from nearby Savannah City School needing passports for school trips abroad. It’s known for its accessibility and relatively short wait times compared to larger passport processing centers in Jackson or Memphis, though scheduling an appointment is always recommended, particularly on Mondays and Fridays. The Post Office plays a key role in connecting the local community to the wider world, a service appreciated and frequently used by Savannah residents planning international journeys, whether for leisure or business.
Note: The office is closed on all federal holidays. Call ahead at 7319254480.0 to confirm hours before visiting.
Government-operated facility with trained passport acceptance agents and secure document handling
Wheelchair accessible entrance, elevator to first floor, and ADA-compliant facilities throughout
Professional passport photo services available on-site for approximately $15 (cash preferred)
Walk-ins typically accepted, but calling ahead recommended during peak travel seasons (summer, holidays)
Located at SAVANNAH POST OFFICE at 705 WATER STREET. Easy access from major highways.
The Savannah Post Office offers free on-site parking, though the number of spaces is limited to approximately 15, located directly in front of the building on Water Street. These spaces are often filled quickly, especially during peak hours between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If the on-site parking is full, street parking is available on Water Street and the adjacent side streets. Metered parking is enforced Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, costing $0.50 per hour. Alternatively, there is a small public parking lot located on Court Square, about 0.2 miles (approximately 3 blocks) west of the post office, offering all-day parking for $3.00. During the summer months, the asphalt in the parking lot can get quite hot, so be mindful of pets if you plan to leave them in your vehicle. In the winter, ice can accumulate on the sidewalks, especially after an early morning frost, so exercise caution when walking from your parking spot to the Post Office entrance. For passport appointments, arriving early and circling the block once or twice might increase your chances of securing an on-site parking spot.
While Savannah doesn’t have a comprehensive public transit system, the Hardin County Transit provides limited transportation services within the city and surrounding areas. Route #1 makes stops near the Savannah Post Office, with a drop-off point at the corner of Water Street and Main Street, a short 2-minute walk north to the Post Office. This route operates Monday through Friday with services running approximately every 45 minutes between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. A single ride fare is $1.25, and day passes are available for $3.00. The Hardin County Transit vehicles are equipped with wheelchair lifts and offer priority seating for seniors and individuals with disabilities. For individuals traveling from outside of Savannah, the nearest Greyhound bus station is located in Jackson, approximately 40 miles away. From there, one would need to arrange private transportation or utilize a ride-sharing service to reach the Savannah Post Office. The sidewalks along Water Street are generally well-maintained and accessible for pedestrians, but it’s advisable to check the Hardin County Transit website or call their office at (731) 925-9036 for the most up-to-date schedule information.

The Savannah Post Office facility provides a straightforward and efficient passport application experience. The entrance is located on the north side of the building, facing Water Street. As you enter, you’ll find the passport application service counter immediately to your left, situated at window number 3. It’s a standard postal service window, but clearly marked with passport application signage. Checking in is as simple as approaching the window and informing the clerk that you have a passport appointment or wish to inquire about walk-in availability. The average passport application appointment lasts approximately 20-25 minutes, depending on the complexity of the application and the volume of applicants. The interior is a single open space with the service counter along one wall and customer seating available. The facility is ADA compliant, with wheelchair accessibility and accessible restrooms. Given the limited space, it’s advisable to arrive no more than 5-10 minutes before your scheduled appointment to avoid overcrowding. The lighting is generally good, and the atmosphere is calm and professional, contributing to a relatively stress-free application process.
