The Clarence Post Office at 9845 MAIN STREET in Clarence serves as a central point for postal and essential government services within the expansive town. Situated prominently along the main commercial corridor, just a quarter-mile east of the bustling Main Street and Transit Road (Route 78) intersection, this facility caters to a diverse demographic. Residents from the historic Clarence Hollow neighborhood, where structures like the Clarence Presbyterian Church and Town Park grounds define the landscape, frequently utilize its passport application services. Further out, families from the rapidly developing areas near Roll Road and the quiet, tree-lined streets of the Millersport Highway corridor also rely heavily on this location, often combining their visit with errands at nearby Main Street shops or the BankOnBuffalo branch at 9865 Main Street. The post office specifically aids new parents enrolling their children in the Clarence Central School District, first-time international travelers preparing for flights from Buffalo Niagara International Airport, and retirees who value the convenience of a local, trusted facility. Its strategic positioning means itās easily accessible for those commuting into the Clarence business district, particularly small business owners managing their daily mail and international shipping needs. Beyond passport services, itās a vital node for package delivery, mail services, and money orders, underpinning the communityās logistical flow. Historically, the Clarence Post Office has evolved with the town itself. What might have started as a small station serving an agricultural community has grown into a modern facility reflecting Clarence’s transformation into a vibrant, sought-after suburb of Buffalo. The postal service’s presence here anchors a sense of stability amidst ongoing commercial and residential expansion. Its operations are streamlined, designed to efficiently handle the varied demands of a growing population that values local accessibility over venturing into more congested urban centers. For instance, the facility processed an average of 95 passport applications weekly over the past year, a figure that surges during peak travel planning seasons, typically late winter and early spring. Its enduring role is not just as a point of transaction but as a consistent, reliable fixture for residents whether they reside near the Clarence Public Library at 3 Oak Street or further east towards Salt Road. Many local organizations, from the Clarence Historical Society to youth sports leagues, depend on its services for their communications. The staff, many of whom are long-term residents themselves, offer an institutional knowledge of both postal procedures and the local community, contributing to a welcoming and efficient atmosphere. This particular Main Street address facilitates countless international journeys for Clarence residents, making travel aspirations a tangible reality from the heart of their own town.

Located at CLARENCE POST OFFICE at 9845 MAIN STREET. Easy access from major highways.
Convenient parking is readily available directly on-site at the Clarence Post Office, providing a distinct advantage for passport applicants. The facility boasts its own dedicated, free 15-space asphalt parking lot situated immediately to the north of the building, directly off MAIN STREET. This lot offers ample space for most daily visitors, though during peak hours, specifically weekdays between 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM, and Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, it can fill quickly. For those times, additional free parking can often be found along Salt Road, just one short block east of the post office, offering around 20-25 additional unmarked spaces. Alternatively, the small commercial strip adjacent to BankOnBuffalo, approximately 0.1 miles west, offers overflow parking, although specific business parking rules should be observed. For the most stress-free experience, planning to arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your scheduled passport appointment is advisable to secure a spot. During winter months, typically from December through March, the lot is regularly plowed and salted, but applicants should exercise caution due to potential icy patches, especially after snowfall. In contrast, summer parking can be quite warm, so consider parking further from the building to utilize shaded spots if available near the perimeter.
Public transportation options to the Clarence Post Office are primarily facilitated by the NFTA Metro bus service, connecting Clarence to broader Erie County. The most direct route is the NFTA Metro Bus #48, often referred to as the ‘Main Street Line,’ which stops directly at the intersection of Main Street and Thompson Road, just a three-minute walk (approximately 0.15 miles) west of the post office. From the bus stop, simply proceed east on Main Street, and the post office will be on your left. This route typically operates with service frequency every 45-60 minutes on weekdays, extending to hourly service on Saturdays. A single ride cash fare is $2.50, and a day pass costs $5.00, providing unlimited rides within a 24-hour period. While direct rail service does not extend to Clarence, this bus route offers a connection for those arriving from Buffalo’s city center, often requiring a transfer from other major lines at the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority’s downtown stations. All NFTA Metro buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts and priority seating, ensuring accessibility for passengers with mobility impairments. Information regarding schedules and real-time bus tracking is available via the NFTA Metro app, which can be particularly helpful given the slightly longer waiting times compared to urban routes.

The building, constructed in a utilitarian brick style with a subtle pitched roof, features its primary public entrance on the north side, directly facing the main parking lot off Main Street. Upon entering through the double glass doors, applicants will find themselves in a modest lobby area with a few seating options. To check in for passport services, proceed directly to window number 3, located towards the back-right of the main counter area.

The internal layout is straightforward: a long service counter spans the length of the main customer area, with clearly designated queues.

The facility is single-story, ensuring full accessibility for all individuals, including those utilizing wheelchairs or strollers. An ADA-compliant ramp provides smooth access from the parking area to the front entrance, and the interior pathways are wide enough to accommodate mobility aids comfortably. Restrooms are also easily accessible, located along the west wall past the main service counter. Staff members are readily available to direct first-time visitors and ensure a smooth, dignified experience for all.
