Greenwood Post Office Passport Services

For a minor’s passport application at the Greenwood Post Office, all applicants under 16 years of age must apply in person with both parents or legal guardians present. If one parent is unavailable, they must provide a notarized Form DS-3053 (Statement of Consent) along with a copy of their valid government-issued identification. Additionally, you will need to present proof of the child’s U.S. citizenship, proof of parental relationship (like a birth certificate), and valid government-issued identification for both parents. The post office staff at Window #3 are particularly experienced with these family applications and can guide you through the specifics, ensuring all forms are correctly filled out for children from Center Grove or Old Town neighborhoods.

Yes, the Greenwood Post Office at 407 W. Smith Valley Road offers convenient passport photo services directly on site. This means you won’t need to make a separate trip to a photo studio or pharmacy before your appointment, saving you valuable time, especially for busy individuals commuting along US-31. The trained staff at the passport service window can take your official 2×2 inch passport photograph, ensuring it meets all federal guidelines regarding background, lighting, and expression. The fee for this service is $15, which can be paid at the time of your application. This integrated service simplifies the application process, making it a true one-stop-shop for Greenwood and surrounding communities like Whiteland and Bargersville.

The primary distinction between routine and expedited passport processing lies in the time frame for receiving your passport. Routine processing, as of November 2024, generally takes 7-10 weeks from the date of application submission at the Greenwood Post Office. This timeframe is suitable for those with no immediate travel plans. Expedited processing significantly reduces this wait, delivering your passport within 3-4 weeks for an additional fee of $60. This is highly recommended for Greenwood residents with upcoming international travel plans, whether for business trips out of Indianapolis International Airport or family vacations. You also have the option to pay an extra fee for 1-2 day delivery of your completed passport once it has been printed. The staff at the 407 W. Smith Valley Road location can help you calculate the best option based on your departure date.

When applying for a passport at the Greenwood Post Office, payment for the passport application fee must be made by check or money order, payable to the ‘U.S. Department of State.’ This specific payment method is a federal requirement, not a local post office policy. For the separate execution fee, which is paid to the post office for processing your application, you can use a check, money order, or credit/debit card. Cash is generally not accepted for passport-related fees. The staff at Window #3 can assist you with understanding these distinctions and will provide exact amounts during your appointment. This clear separation helps Greenwood residents manage their payment process efficiently.

While the Greenwood Post Office sometimes accommodates walk-in passport services if staffing and demand allow, it is strongly recommended that you schedule an appointment in advance. This ensures a dedicated time slot for your application and minimizes potential wait times, which can be substantial during peak hours, particularly from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Scheduling an appointment guarantees a smooth and efficient process, preventing unnecessary delays for residents coming from areas like Franklin or the far reaches of Greenwood. You can typically book an appointment online through the USPS website or by calling the post office directly. Always check the facility’s specific passport service hours before planning a visit to 407 W. Smith Valley Road.

Finding convenient parking for your passport appointment at the Greenwood Post Office is generally straightforward, as the facility offers a dedicated 38-space free paved lot immediately to the west of the building, accessible directly from W. Smith Valley Road. This primary lot is typically sufficient, even during peak mid-morning and early afternoon hours. For those arriving between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, it is advisable to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to ensure a prime spot closer to the main entrance. While there are no metered spots or paid garages directly associated with this facility, the ease of the on-site lot makes external options rarely necessary. If, by rare chance, the main lot is completely full, an auxiliary, unpaved overflow area is available about 1.5 blocks east, near the CVS Pharmacy, though this requires a short walk along the sidewalk of W. Smith Valley Road. During the summer months, direct sun exposure in the main lot can make car interiors quite warm, so consider parking further from the building if you prefer shade, particularly under the few mature trees at the lot’s perimeter. Conversely, in winter, be mindful of potential icy patches, especially after snow or freezing rain, as the lot’s western edge can retain moisture. Always exercise caution when walking from your vehicle to the entrance, especially during inclement weather conditions common in central Indiana.
