Moberly Post Office Passport Services

Absolutely, for applicants under 16, both parents are generally required to appear in person with the child at the Moberly Post Office at 121 Johnson Street. This ensures proper identification and consent. If one parent cannot be present, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053), along with a copy of their valid government-issued ID. The accepting agent at the Moberly facility will meticulously verify all documentation to ensure compliance with federal regulations, which are in place to protect children. Bringing all necessary documents, including the child’s birth certificate and both parents’ IDs, will streamline this process considerably.

Unfortunately, the Moberly Post Office at 121 Johnson Street does not currently offer on-site passport photo services. Applicants are responsible for providing two compliant, color passport photos, sized 2×2 inches, taken within the last six months. Several local pharmacies and photo studios in Moberly, such as the CVS Pharmacy on West Highway 24 or Walgreens on North Morley Street, offer this service and are familiar with the specific requirements. Ensure your photos meet all Department of State guidelines regarding background, lighting, and expression before your appointment to avoid any delays in processing your application here.

The Moberly Post Office generally operates Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with passport services specifically available by appointment during these times. On Saturdays, the office typically opens from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM, though passport acceptance hours on Saturdays are often more limited and vary, so confirming directly when scheduling is essential. The facility is closed on Sundays and federal holidays. It’s always best to call ahead or use the online scheduler to confirm the most current passport appointment availability, especially around holidays or during peak travel seasons, to ensure a smooth visit to 121 Johnson Street.

After submitting your passport application at the Moberly Post Office, you can easily track its status online through the Department of State’s official website. You’ll need the locator number provided on your application receipt, which the acceptance agent at 121 Johnson Street will give you, along with your last name and date of birth. The tracking system updates as your application moves through the various stages, from ‘In Process’ to ‘Approved’ and finally ‘Mailed.’ It’s important to wait about 7-10 business days after your Moberly appointment for your application to be entered into the system before attempting to track it.

Passport photos must adhere to strict guidelines to be accepted, and a crucial one is size. Each photo must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) with your head precisely centered, measuring between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm and 35 mm) from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head. The Moberly Post Office staff at 121 Johnson Street will verify these dimensions upon submission, so it is imperative that any photos you bring meet these exact specifications. Non-compliant photos will lead to delays in your application processing, requiring you to obtain new ones.

Parking for the Moberly Post Office at 121 Johnson Street is generally straightforward, though strategy can enhance convenience, particularly during peak hours. The most immediate option is the dedicated, free customer parking lot directly behind the building, accessible via an alleyway off West Rollins Street. This lot typically offers around 20-25 spaces and is often the quickest choice, though it can fill up midday. For those visiting during busy morning postal hours (9:00 AM – 11:00 AM) or early afternoon, street parking is readily available along Johnson Street itself and parallel streets like West Coates Street. These spots are usually free with a two-hour limit, strictly enforced by city parking patrols. While there are no large, multi-story parking garages within a short walking distance, several municipal surface lots exist, such as the small lot just one block west on West Coates Street, offering approximately 15 free, unrestricted spaces. Walking from this lot to the post office takes about 3 minutes, covering roughly 0.15 miles. During summer months, parking further away might mean a warm walk, so aiming for the on-site lot is advisable. In winter, especially after snow, street parking might be limited due to plowing, making the main lot behind the building the most reliable option, as it is usually cleared promptly. Always plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your passport appointment to secure suitable parking without feeling rushed.
