People Also Ask About WATERFRONT POST OFFICE

Local questions from PORTLAND residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

You can schedule your passport appointment online via the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler or by calling the Waterfront Post Office directly. Given its central Portland location and high demand, it’s wise to book at least a week or two in advance, especially for popular afternoon slots.

You’ll need your completed DS-11 form (do not sign it!), original proof of U.S. citizenship (like a birth certificate or previous passport), a valid government-issued ID (such as your Oregon driver’s license), and a compliant passport photo. Ensure all originals are present, as copies are not accepted for proof of citizenship or ID.

There are two main fees: the passport application fee (payable to ‘U.S. Department of State’ by check or money order only) and the $35 execution fee (payable to ‘USPS’ at the Waterfront Post Office by check, money order, debit card, or cash). Remember to bring separate payments for each, as per federal guidelines.

Standard passport processing times fluctuate nationally; currently, they are generally several weeks for routine service and a few weeks for expedited service. While the Waterfront Post Office sends out your application, you can opt for expedited service on your forms for faster processing directly through the Department of State, and track your application online after submission.

Passport acceptance hours at the Waterfront Post Office often differ slightly from general retail hours, typically running during core business hours, such as 9 AM to 4 PM on weekdays. It’s best to confirm their specific passport appointment availability online, and consider morning appointments to avoid peak downtown Portland congestion.
