St Marys Post Office Passport Services

Yes, the St Marys Post Office provides passport photo services for a fee of $15.00. The photo booth is located near the back of the customer service area, adjacent to the package drop-off station. While it is generally self-service, postal workers are available to assist if needed, especially concerning lighting or positioning. Given the popularity of this service, there may be a short wait, particularly during peak hours like lunch breaks or weekends. Alternatively, several local businesses such as CVS on W. Spring Street also offer passport photo services.

Walk-ins are accepted at the St Marys Post Office, but scheduling an appointment is strongly encouraged to minimize wait times. Passport services are available during regular business hours, but dedicating specific time slots via online booking ensures priority service. Expect longer wait times if walking in, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which tend to be busier. To schedule, visit the USPS website and select the St Marys location; appointments are generally available within a week or two.

Yes, you can initiate the passport renewal process at the St Marys Post Office, but whether you can complete the renewal there depends on your eligibility. If your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years, when you were over the age of 16, and is still in good condition, you can typically renew by mail using form DS-82. The postal workers can provide the form and mailing instructions. If you don’t meet these criteria, you’ll need to apply in person using form DS-11, which they can also assist with.

When applying for a passport at the St Marys Post Office, you’ll need to bring several key documents. First, you’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, such as your original birth certificate or a previous passport. You’ll also need a valid government-issued photo ID, like a driver’s license. Additionally, bring a photocopy of both your citizenship evidence and your ID. Finally, don’t forget the passport application form DS-11 (if applying in person) and the applicable fees, which can be paid by check or money order.

Passport photos taken at the St Marys Post Office, or submitted with your application, must adhere to specific size requirements. The photo must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. The applicant’s head must be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm – 35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. The photo must be in color, taken against a plain white or off-white background, and show a clear, front view of your face. It’s always best to double-check that your photos meet these requirements to avoid delays in processing.

Parking at the St Marys Post Office is generally convenient, with ample street parking available on N. Chestnut St. and surrounding blocks. Most of the street parking is free, with a two-hour limit during business hours, Monday through Friday. For longer appointments, consider parking on the side streets such as West Spring Street or West Bremen Street, which typically have no time restrictions. There is no dedicated parking lot for the post office, so street parking is your only option. During the summer months, be mindful of the heat as you walk from your parking spot to the facility; conversely, winter months can bring icy conditions, so exercise caution on sidewalks. While there are no parking garages immediately adjacent to the Post Office, the availability of free street parking within a block or two makes accessing the facility relatively easy. Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment to allow time to find parking, especially during peak hours (late mornings and early afternoons). The intersection of Chestnut and Spring Streets will be busy during the lunch hour. In the event of a larger event downtown, be sure to factor in additional time. Parking is less congested on Saturdays, but limited hours may require you to use a different parking strategy.
