Keyport Post Office Passport Services

Yes, the Keyport Post Office does accept credit cards for the fees payable to the U.S. Postal Service. This includes the execution fee for processing your application, which is currently $35, and any optional charges like passport photo services or expedited shipping. However, it’s crucial to remember that the separate passport application fee, which is paid directly to the U.S. Department of State, must be submitted via a personal check, certified check, cashier’s check, or money order. They do not accept credit cards or cash for the State Department portion of the payment. Make sure to have these two distinct payment methods ready when you arrive at 95 WEST FRONT STREET to avoid any delays in your application.

Absolutely, the Keyport Post Office is equipped to take official passport photos directly on-site, providing a convenient all-in-one service for applicants. This means you won’t need to make a separate trip to a pharmacy or photo studio before your appointment at 95 WEST FRONT STREET. The postal clerks are trained to ensure your photo meets all U.S. Department of State requirements, including sizing, background, and facial expression. There is a nominal fee for this service, typically around $15, which can be paid with a credit card, cash, or debit card at the time of your appointment. Taking photos here ensures compliance and streamlines your application process considerably.

If your child, defined as anyone under 16, needs a passport, the process at the Keyport Post Office requires both parents or legal guardians to be present with the child. You’ll need to submit Form DS-11, the application for a U.S. Passport. Crucially, bring your child’s original birth certificate (or other proof of U.S. citizenship), along with a photocopy, and both parents’ valid government-issued identification, also with photocopies of the front and back. The Keyport Post Office staff will verify parental identity and consent, ensuring all required documentation is correctly executed. If one parent cannot be present, specific notarized consent forms (DS-3053) are required. Always confirm the most current requirements on the State Department website before visiting 95 WEST FRONT STREET.

Parking for the Keyport Post Office at 95 WEST FRONT STREET requires careful consideration, especially during peak hours. Directly on West Front Street, a limited number of metered street parking spaces are available; these typically cost $1.00 per hour with a strict 2-hour limit, enforced Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM. These spots are highly sought after, particularly in warmer months when visitors flock to the Keyport Waterfront Park across the street. For a more reliable and stress-free option, the municipal ‘Bayfront Parking Lot,’ accessible via American Legion Drive, is highly recommended. This free, 45-space lot is located just 0.1 miles behind the businesses lining West Front Street, translating to a convenient two-minute walk to the post office’s front entrance. Alternatively, additional metered parking can be found on Broad Street, approximately two blocks east of the post office. These spots typically run $0.75 per hour, also with a 2-hour limit. For passport appointments, which can occasionally extend beyond 20 minutes, parking in the Bayfront Parking Lot is the optimal strategy to avoid parking enforcement issues. Arriving 15-20 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment is advisable to secure a spot in this popular lot. During summer, the area can be quite busy, and finding parking might take a few extra minutes. In winter, be mindful of potential icy patches in the lots and on sidewalks, and wear appropriate footwear.
