The primary location in Amherst for passport application services is the U.S. Post Office located at 170 University Dr. They serve as an acceptance facility for new passport applications (Form DS-11). It’s crucial to schedule an appointment in advance, as walk-ins are often not accommodated, especially during peak times. You’ll need to bring all your required documents, photos, and payment methods for a smooth process. They’re well-versed in the requirements for first-time applicants and renewals.

For a new adult passport book, the current fee payable to the U.S. Department of State is $130. Additionally, there’s a separate $35 execution fee payable to the Amherst Post Office for their service. If you opt for a passport card, that’s an additional $30. Expedited service fees and 1-2 day delivery for the return of your passport are extra. Always check the official State Department website for the most up-to-date fee schedule before your appointment.

Passport services at the Amherst Post Office on University Drive typically run on specific hours, which often differ from their standard mail service hours. It’s common for them to offer appointments during weekday business hours, like Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with potential lunch breaks. However, these hours can change, and appointments are mandatory. Always confirm their current passport appointment availability and hours directly on their website or by calling ahead to avoid a wasted trip.
