Suwanee Post Office Passport Services

Passport costs vary depending on the type of passport you need and your age. For an adult applying for a first-time passport book, the fee is $130 payable to the Department of State, plus a $35 execution fee paid directly to the Suwanee Post Office. A passport card, which is valid for land and sea border crossings with Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean, costs $30 plus the $35 execution fee. Children under 16 require a $100 fee paid to the Department of State and the same $35 execution fee to the post office. It’s always best to have exact change or a check/money order for faster processing at Window #3.

Currently, passport processing times vary based on whether you choose routine or expedited service. At the Suwanee Post Office, staff will advise you on the latest estimates. As of November 2024, routine processing averages 7.2 weeks, while expedited processing averages 2.5 weeks, according to the State Department. Expedited service incurs an additional fee of $60. These times do not include mailing times, so factor in a few extra days for delivery. If traveling within two weeks, you may need to contact the Atlanta Passport Agency directly, as the Suwanee Post Office cannot assist with urgent travel needs beyond their standard processing times.

Okay, so for your passport application at the Suwanee Post Office, you’ll need a few key things. First, bring proof of U.S. citizenship, like your original birth certificate (not a copy!) or a previous U.S. passport. Then, you’ll need a valid photo ID, such as your driver’s license. Make sure it’s not expired! You also need a passport photo. You can get one taken at the nearby Publix Pharmacy if you forget. Finally, don’t forget the application form DS-11, which you can download and fill out beforehand. Pro-tip: use black ink only!

Yes, you can request expedited service when applying for your passport at the Suwanee Post Office. Expediting your application involves paying an additional $60 fee on top of the standard application fees. This significantly reduces the processing time. As of November 2024, expedited applications are averaging about 2.5 weeks for processing. Make sure to clearly indicate on your application form that you are requesting expedited service. The postal worker handling your application at Window #3 will confirm the expedited fee and ensure your application is marked accordingly. Keep in mind that even with expedited service, mailing times are not included.

Applying for a passport for a child requires a few extra steps. Both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the child at the Suwanee Post Office. Each parent needs to present a valid photo ID. You’ll also need to provide proof of the parental relationship, such as the child’s birth certificate listing both parents’ names. If only one parent can appear, they must submit Form DS-3053, Statement of Consent, signed by the non-appearing parent and notarized. Child passport fees are lower than adult fees: $100 for the passport book and $30 for the passport card, plus the $35 execution fee payable to the post office.

Parking at the Suwanee Post Office is generally straightforward. The facility offers a 47-space free lot directly in front of the building, accessible from Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. While this is usually adequate, it can fill up quickly during peak hours, especially between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays. An overflow parking area is located behind the building, accessible via a short driveway on the east side of the lot. Alternative parking can be found along Suwanee Dam Road, about 0.3 miles north of the post office, though this requires a walk along the busy Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. During the summer months, the asphalt parking lot can get quite hot, so it’s advisable to avoid touching metal surfaces after parking. In winter, be cautious of potential ice patches, particularly in the early morning. There are no parking fees associated with the Suwanee Post Office, making it a cost-effective option for passport applications. For morning appointments, arriving 15-20 minutes early is recommended to secure a spot in the main lot.
