Warrenville Post Office Passport Services

The Warrenville Post Office at 3S101 Rockwell Avenue offers passport acceptance services by appointment only, generally available Monday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM. The retail counter, however, is typically open Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM for general postal needs, though passport appointments are not usually conducted on Saturdays. It’s crucial to confirm the specific passport appointment availability when you schedule, as these times can occasionally shift based on staffing. Planning your visit for a mid-morning slot, perhaps around 10:30 AM, or an early afternoon appointment around 2:00 PM, often ensures the quickest and least crowded experience. The facility tends to be busiest right at opening and during the lunchtime rush, so aiming for off-peak times can significantly reduce any potential waiting.

After your application is accepted at the Warrenville Post Office, the processing times are determined by the U.S. Department of State, not the local facility itself. As of November 2024, routine passport processing averages 7.2 weeks from the day your application is received by the Passport Agency. If you opt for expedited service, that timeline is significantly reduced, typically averaging 2.5 weeks, though this incurs an additional federal fee of $60. Both these estimates include mailing times. It’s always advisable to apply well in advance of any planned international travel, ideally several months, to account for any unforeseen delays. The postal clerks at the 3S101 Rockwell Avenue location can provide the most current processing estimates during your appointment.

Generally, passport acceptance services at the Warrenville Post Office are strictly by appointment only. While the retail counter is open for other postal needs, they cannot process passport applications without a pre-scheduled slot. This policy ensures that dedicated staff are available to assist you thoroughly and that your wait time is minimized. Attempting a walk-in for a passport application will likely result in being turned away and advised to book an appointment. It’s highly recommended to utilize the USPS online appointment scheduler or call the facility at 630-393-2715 to secure your time slot well in advance. This approach guarantees that you will receive the necessary attention and complete your application efficiently at 3S101 Rockwell Avenue.

If you find yourself in a situation requiring urgent passport processing, the Warrenville Post Office can accept your expedited application, which incurs an additional $60 federal fee. As of November 2024, expedited processing averages 2.5 weeks. For situations demanding even faster service, such as travel within 2-3 weeks, your best course of action is to contact the National Passport Information Center directly at 1-877-487-2778 or schedule an appointment at a regional passport agency in Chicago. While the Warrenville Post Office cannot offer same-day or urgent in-person pickup, they will ensure your expedited application is correctly submitted. Remember, proof of urgent travel may be required for regional agency appointments.

Whether you can renew your passport at the Warrenville Post Office depends on your eligibility to renew by mail. If your most recent passport was issued less than 15 years ago, you were at least 16 years old when it was issued, and it’s undamaged, you can typically renew by mail using Form DS-82. In such cases, you do not need an appointment at 3S101 Rockwell Avenue; you simply mail your application, old passport, new photo, and fees directly to the address on the form. However, if you do not meet all these criteria – for example, your passport was issued more than 15 years ago or you were under 16 – then you must apply in person using Form DS-11, which the Warrenville Post Office accepts by appointment. The postal clerks can help determine the correct application method if you are unsure.

Convenient parking is readily available directly at the Warrenville Post Office, situated at 3S101 Rockwell Avenue. The facility boasts a dedicated 47-space free surface lot immediately adjacent to the building’s north entrance, offering ample parking even during peak morning and lunch hours. There are five designated accessible parking spots closest to the main entrance, ensuring easy access for all visitors. For those rare occasions when the main lot is full, supplemental street parking can be found along Rockwell Avenue itself, east of the post office, where approximately 15 unmetered spaces are available, typically with a two-hour limit between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on weekdays. These street spots are a negligible 0.1 miles (or half a block) walk from the entrance. An alternative strategy for appointments might involve parking in the shared lot of the small retail plaza just across Rockwell Avenue, which houses entities like the Anytime Fitness at 3S010 Rockwell Ave. This lot typically has abundant spaces and is only a short 2-minute walk across a clearly marked crosswalk. During the summer months, direct sun exposure in the main lot can make vehicles quite warm, so consider parking further back under any available shade trees towards the west side of the lot. In winter, DuPage County experiences significant snowfall, and while the post office parking lot is reliably plowed, sidewalks can occasionally be icy, so wearing appropriate footwear is always recommended when visiting between December and March. Arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your passport appointment will allow sufficient time to secure a good parking spot and navigate to the entrance without rush.
