Adelphia Post Office Passport Services

For urgent travel needs, the Adelphia Post Office can process expedited passport applications. While they cannot issue same-day passports, choosing the expedited service significantly reduces processing times. You’ll need to pay an additional $60 government fee per application, plus any applicable overnight shipping fees for both sending your application and receiving your completed passport book. It’s crucial to still schedule an appointment, as walk-ins for expedited services are not guaranteed, especially given the current demand. Be sure to clearly state your urgent need during booking and at your appointment to ensure all necessary forms and payment are correctly handled for faster processing. Consider bringing proof of urgent travel if available, such as flight itineraries, though it’s not strictly required for the expedited service itself, it can help frame your discussion with the postal clerk.

When visiting the Adelphia Post Office for your passport application, assemble several key documents beforehand. You’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your original birth certificate (not a copy), a previous undamaged passport, or a Certificate of Naturalization. Additionally, bring proof of identity, like a valid driver’s license from New Jersey or another state, or a government employee ID. Don’t forget a clear photocopy of both the front and back of your identification document. If you require a passport photo, the Adelphia Post Office offers this service on-site for a fee, making it convenient. Finally, the completed, unsigned DS-11 application form is essential. Having all these items ready will ensure a smooth and efficient appointment at the 16 Wyckoff Mills Road facility.

At the Adelphia Post Office, payment for passport application fees is divided. The U.S. Department of State fee must be paid by personal check, certified check, cashier’s check, or money order, made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’. This fee cannot be paid by credit card or cash. For the execution fee ($35) and any photo services ($15-$18, specific to Adelphia PO), you can pay using a credit card, debit card, check, or money order. It is highly recommended to bring both your checkbook and a credit/debit card to ensure you are prepared for all payment types, particularly if you’re unsure about the exact total or any optional services you might opt for, like expedited processing or overnight return shipping. Making these arrangements in advance will greatly speed up your visit.

The cost of a new passport at the Adelphia Post Office varies based on the type of service and product chosen. For a standard passport book (DS-11 form), the government fee is $130. If you also need a passport card, that’s an additional $30. Expedited processing, which significantly shortens wait times, adds an extra $60 to the government fee. On top of these, the Adelphia Post Office charges a non-refundable $35 execution fee for processing your application. If you need a passport photo taken on-site, there’s an additional fee, typically around $18 here. For instance, a basic passport book with expedited service and a photo would cost approximately $130 (book) + $60 (expedite) + $35 (execution) + $18 (photo) = $243, plus any optional shipping fees. Remember to bring separate payments for the State Department portion and the Post Office portion.

Yes, appointments are absolutely required for all passport applications processed at the Adelphia Post Office, and this specifically includes applications for minors under 16. Furthermore, special requirements apply for children: both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the minor and present valid IDs, along with proof of their parental relationship (e.g., child’s birth certificate showing both parents’ names). If only one parent can appear, they must provide additional documentation such as the second parent’s consent form (DS-3053) with a notarized signature and a copy of their ID, or proof of sole custody. These strict measures are in place to prevent international parental child abduction. Ensure you schedule sufficient time for these complex applications at 16 Wyckoff Mills Road.

For visitors to the Adelphia Post Office at 16 Wyckoff Mills Road, parking is generally quite convenient, a notable advantage in this semi-rural setting. The facility boasts its own dedicated, free asphalt parking lot directly west of the building, providing ample space. This lot features approximately 28 marked spaces, including two clearly designated accessible parking spots located closest to the main entrance. During peak operational hours, such as midday on weekdays or Saturday mornings, the lot can fill, but turnover is relatively quick. For those times when the primary lot is full, supplemental free parking is available along Wyckoff Mills Road itself, within one block north or south of the post office driveway. While there are no metered spots or paid garages in the immediate vicinity, it’s always advisable to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your passport appointment to secure a preferred spot and avoid any potential rush. In the warmer months, particularly July and August, the unshaded lot can become quite hot, so consider arriving slightly earlier to ensure a shaded spot if available further out. During winter, especially from December through February, if snow or ice is present, the lot is routinely plowed and salted, but exercising caution when navigating the pathways is always prudent. The walk from any parking spot within the lot to the main entrance is minimal, typically less than 50 feet.
