Pahala Post Office Passport Services

Yes, while the Pahala Post Office is a smaller facility, it’s strongly recommended to schedule an appointment for passport acceptance services. This ensures a dedicated clerk is available to assist you without a prolonged wait, especially considering our limited staffing here in Pahala.

For the passport application fee itself, you must use a check or money order made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ The separate execution fee, payable to the Pahala Post Office, can typically be paid by personal check, money order, or credit/debit card. We advise having both options ready for a smooth process at our Pahala location.

You’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship (like your original birth certificate or previous passport) and a valid photo ID (like a driver’s license), along with a photocopy of each. The Pahala Post Office does not provide passport photo services, so please ensure you bring a recent, compliant passport-quality photo with you.

While your application is accepted at the Pahala Post Office, the actual processing time is handled by the U.S. Department of State, not our local facility.
