About South Boston
South Boston is a U.S. passport acceptance facility at 444 E 3RD ST, South Boston, MA 02127. Staff here are authorised by the U.S. Department of State to verify your identity, witness your signature and accept your application — the in-person step every first-time, child and replacement passport must complete.
Walk-in passport customers are accepted during posted hours, alongside scheduled appointments. Photos are not listed as available here, so bring a compliant photo with you. 32 other acceptance facilities sit within 10 miles, and their appointment availability often differs from this one.
