People Also Ask About CALAIS POST OFFICE

Local questions from CALAIS residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

The Calais Post Office primarily operates on a walk-in basis for passport acceptance services. However, to minimize wait times, especially if you’re traveling a distance, we recommend arriving earlier in the day on weekdays at the Calais Post Office, avoiding peak lunch hours.

You’ll need your proof of U.S. citizenship (original birth certificate or previous passport), valid government-issued photo ID like a driver’s license, and a recent passport photo. Don’t forget your completed DS-11 form, but do not sign it until instructed by a Calais Post Office acceptance agent.

There are two separate payments: the application fee payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’ (check or money order only), and the acceptance facility fee of $35 payable to ‘Postmaster’ (cash, check, or debit/credit card accepted). Ensure you have both payment methods ready when you visit the Calais Post Office.

Current standard processing times for passport applications submitted at the Calais Post Office are typically several weeks, varying based on the Department of State’s workload. While the Calais Post Office processes your submission promptly, the actual passport creation and mailing time is handled by the National Passport Center, not locally.

While the Calais Post Office has general window service hours, passport acceptance services often have a slightly more restricted schedule due to staffing and processing requirements. It is highly recommended to call the Calais Post Office directly or check their official USPS website for the most accurate and up-to-date passport application hours before your visit.
