The Eastport Post Office at 821 CHESAPEAKE AVENUE serves as a crucial resource for passport applications and renewals in the heart of Annapolis’s historic Eastport neighborhood. Situated just a block from the intersection of Chesapeake Avenue and Severn Avenue, this post office is heavily utilized by residents of Eastport, Annapolis Neck, and even some boaters docked at nearby marinas like the Annapolis City Dock and the Eastport Yacht Center. Eastport, known for its maritime heritage and vibrant arts scene, sees a consistent flow of residents needing passports, whether for international sailing trips, family vacations abroad, or simply for updated identification. The facility also draws customers from the Annapolis Towne Centre, located about 3 miles west on Riva Road, although residents closer to that area often opt for other passport facilities. The Eastport Post Office has been a fixture in the community since 1968, witnessing Eastport’s evolution from a working-class maritime village to a sought-after residential area. Its location, a short walk from the Annapolis Maritime Museum at 723 Second Street, makes it convenient for both locals and tourists exploring the area’s nautical history. The post office is also near several popular Eastport restaurants, including Boatyard Bar & Grill and Annapolis Smokehouse, meaning that during lunch hours, the facility sees increased foot traffic. A notable landmark within walking distance is the World War II Memorial, located at the end of City Dock, a frequent destination for those utilizing the post office services.
Note: The office is closed on all federal holidays. Call ahead at 4102677051.0 to confirm hours before visiting.

Located at EASTPORT POST OFFICE at 821 CHESAPEAKE AVENUE. Easy access from major highways.
Parking around the Eastport Post Office can be challenging, especially during peak hours and weekends. The post office itself has a small, 8-space parking lot directly in front of the building on Chesapeake Avenue, but these spots are often full. Street parking is available on Chesapeake Avenue and the surrounding side streets like First Street and Second Street, but be mindful of parking restrictions and time limits, typically limited to 2 hours. Metered parking on Chesapeake Avenue costs $2 per hour, enforced Monday through Saturday. For longer appointments, consider parking at the Eastport Municipal Parking Garage located at 101 Second Street, about 3 blocks south of the post office. This garage charges $3 per hour, with a daily maximum of $15. During the summer months, parking can be particularly difficult due to increased tourist traffic, so plan to arrive well in advance of your appointment time. In winter, be cautious of icy conditions on the sidewalks, especially after snowstorms.
The Eastport Post Office is accessible via several Annapolis Transit bus routes. Bus Route 99, which runs along Chesapeake Avenue, stops directly in front of the post office every 30 minutes during peak hours. The fare is $2 per single ride or $4 for a day pass. Additionally, Bus Route 92, which travels along Severn Avenue, has a stop within a 5-minute walk of the post office at the intersection of Severn and First Street. Both bus routes connect to the Annapolis City Dock transit hub, providing access to other parts of the city. For those arriving from outside Annapolis, the closest major train station is the Odenton MARC station, approximately 15 miles west. From Odenton, you can take the MTA Route 92 bus directly to Annapolis City Dock and then transfer to Route 99. All Annapolis Transit buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts, ensuring accessibility for passengers with mobility devices. The City Dock transit hub also features accessible restrooms and waiting areas.
