Highland Post Office passport questions

Do I need an appointment at Highland Post Office?
This location accepts walk-ins during posted walk-in hours (Mon-Sat: 8:30 AM-9:00 AM) and takes scheduled appointments the rest of the week. Appointments are booked through the USPS scheduler.
Which passport applications have to be done in person?
First-time adult passports, all child passports, and replacements for lost or stolen passports must be signed in person at an acceptance facility like this one. Renewals do not — an eligible renewal can be handled entirely by FedEx overnight without visiting a facility.
How soon can I be seen at Highland Post Office?
The next appointment currently showing at this location is August 15. Availability changes daily as slots are released and taken, and nearby facilities listed below sometimes have earlier openings.
What should I bring?
Proof of U.S. citizenship (certified birth certificate or previous passport), a valid photo ID plus a photocopy of it, one passport photo, and your completed application form — unsigned until the acceptance agent tells you to sign. Child applications also require both parents or legal guardians, or the appropriate consent form.
How long does a passport take if I apply here?
Applications submitted at an acceptance facility go into the U.S. Department of State’s standard queue, and current government processing estimates are published at travel.state.gov. If you need one faster, our expedited service returns passports in as fast as 3-4 business days, guaranteed.
Can I get a passport photo here?
Photo service is not listed for this location. Our full-service option includes compliant passport photos, or any nearby photo provider can take them.
