Destrehan Post Office Passport Services

Yes, it’s highly recommended to schedule an appointment for passport services at the Destrehan Post Office to ensure prompt service and minimize wait times. While walk-ins are sometimes accommodated, appointments take priority and are crucial during peak hours, especially on weekdays. You can easily schedule an appointment online via the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler for the Destrehan location.

When visiting the Destrehan Post Office for your passport application, remember to bring your original proof of U.S. citizenship (like a certified birth certificate or previous passport), valid photo identification, and a recent passport photo. Don’t forget to complete Form DS-11 beforehand and bring photocopies of both sides of your identification document, as well as a photocopy of your citizenship document, as the Destrehan Post Office cannot make these copies for you.

At the Destrehan Post Office, you’ll need two separate payments: one to the U.S. Department of State for the application fee (check or money order only), and a separate acceptance fee to the USPS for $35.00. The USPS acceptance fee at the Destrehan facility can be paid by debit card, credit card, check, or money order, but ensure your State Department payment is ready in the correct format.

Once your application is accepted at the Destrehan Post Office, it is mailed to the U.S. Department of State for processing, and current processing times can vary. For routine service, expect approximately 6-8 weeks, though expedited services (for an additional fee) can reduce this to 2-3 weeks. You can track your application’s status online at the State Department’s website once it’s been received.

The Destrehan Post Office generally offers passport acceptance services during its regular business hours, typically Monday through Friday. However, it’s always best to call ahead or check the online scheduler for the Destrehan location, as passport services may have specific staff availability and might not be offered right up until closing or on certain peak days.
