Usps Pomfret Main Office Passport Services

Routine passport processing, as of November 2024, takes approximately 7.2 weeks, while expedited processing takes around 2.5 weeks. Paying for expedited service and mailing ensures your application is prioritized at the processing center. Residents of Pomfret often find expedited service worthwhile if they have upcoming travel plans within the next three months. Keep in mind these are estimates and can vary based on demand; check the State Department website for the most up-to-date timelines.

While walk-ins may be accommodated at the USPS Pomfret Main Office depending on staffing and appointment availability, it is strongly recommended to schedule an appointment in advance. Appointments are easily made online via the USPS website. Attempting a walk-in, especially during peak hours between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM, carries the risk of significant wait times or being turned away. Securing an appointment guarantees service and minimizes potential delays for Pomfret residents.

The cost of a passport varies depending on your age and the type of passport you need. For adults (16 and older), a new passport book costs $130, plus a $35 execution fee payable to the USPS. Children under 16 require a $100 application fee and the same $35 execution fee. A passport card, which is valid only for land and sea travel between the US, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, costs $30 for adults and $15 for children. Remember to factor in the $16.50 fee for expedited processing, if desired, and the cost of passport photos if you choose to have them taken at a local pharmacy like CVS on Marshall Corner Road.

Yes, the USPS Pomfret Main Office accepts credit cards, debit cards, checks, and money orders for passport application fees. The $35 execution fee payable to the USPS can also be paid via these methods. However, be aware that some smaller post offices in more rural Charles County locations may have limited credit card processing capabilities, so it’s always a good idea to have a backup payment method like a check or money order readily available.

For children under the age of 16, both parents must appear in person together when applying for a passport. If one parent cannot be present, they must submit a notarized Form DS-3053 (Statement of Consent) along with a copy of their driver’s license or other government-issued ID. This requirement is in place to prevent international parental child abduction and ensure the safety and security of children. Plan accordingly when scheduling your appointment at the USPS Pomfret Main Office.

Parking at the USPS Pomfret Main Office is generally straightforward. The facility offers a dedicated, free parking lot with approximately 25 spaces directly in front of the building. Access to the lot is via a single entrance/exit point on Marshall Corner Road. During peak hours, particularly around lunchtime (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM) and late afternoon (4:00 PM – 5:30 PM), the lot can become quite full, especially on weekdays. If the lot is full, limited street parking is available on Pomfret Road, a short 0.1-mile walk away. Be mindful of the weather conditions, as the parking lot can become icy during winter months, especially after a snowfall, so exercise caution.

Arriving 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment is recommended to allow sufficient time to find parking and check-in.
