Lihue Post Office Passport Services

For passport acceptance services at the Lihue Post Office, appointments are strongly recommended and often required. This ensures dedicated time and helps manage the flow, especially during peak tourist seasons or busy periods in Lihue. You can typically schedule an appointment conveniently online through the USPS website.

Passport acceptance facilities like the Lihue Post Office require two separate payments: one to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ (check or money order only) and an execution fee to ‘USPS’ (debit/credit card, check, money order). Unfortunately, the Lihue Post Office does not offer passport photo services on-site; however, several pharmacies and photo shops in Lihue, such as Longs Drugs or Walmart, provide this service nearby.

While the official processing times set by the U.S. Department of State are standard nationwide, submitting your application from the Lihue Post Office may add a couple of transit days for mail to reach the processing centers on the mainland. For critical travel, opting for expedited service with overnight delivery to the processing center and return to Lihue is highly recommended. Always check the latest State Department processing times online.

Passport acceptance hours at the Lihue Post Office often differ from the regular retail post office hours, so it’s best to check their specific schedule online or call ahead. The facility usually has a dedicated parking lot, but it can fill up quickly during peak times; arriving earlier in the day or during mid-afternoon on weekdays might offer better luck for parking and a smoother experience.

The U.S. Department of State generally requires a physical street address for your application, even if your primary mail receipt is a P.O. Box in Lihue. Your new passport will typically be mailed to a valid physical street address by the Department of State, not directly to your P.O. Box. You should list your physical residence address on the application and verify current mailing requirements during your appointment at the Lihue Post Office.
