Beaumont Post Office Passport Services

Yes, absolutely. The Beaumont Post Office strictly operates by appointment for all new passport applications (Form DS-11). Walk-ins for passport services cannot be accommodated due to the specific time and detailed document review required for each applicant. Scheduling an appointment ensures that a dedicated postal clerk is available to assist you thoroughly, reducing wait times and allowing for a smooth process. You can typically schedule an appointment by calling the Beaumont Post Office directly at their main line during business hours. We recommend booking several days in advance, particularly if you’re aiming for a late morning or early afternoon slot, as these tend to fill up quickly among residents in Beaumont and Cherry Valley.

For minor applicants (under 16), the process for obtaining a passport at the Beaumont Post Office requires both parents or legal guardians to be present with the child. If only one parent can appear, they must present a consent form (DS-3053) from the absent parent, along with a copy of that parent’s ID, or sole custody documents. All parents and the child must bring their original proof of U.S. citizenship, such as an original birth certificate, and valid government-issued photo identification. This dual-parental consent requirement is a critical security measure by the U.S. Department of State to prevent international child abduction. Our clerks at Window 3 are well-versed in these specific requirements and can guide Beaumont families through the necessary paperwork, ensuring all documents are correctly submitted.

The Beaumont Post Office offers passport acceptance services during specific hours, which differ slightly from general postal operations. Passport appointments are generally available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. It’s always a good practice to confirm these times when you call to schedule your appointment, as federal holidays or unforeseen circumstances can occasionally alter the schedule. The facility typically experiences its busiest periods for passport services on weekday lunch hours (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM) and Saturday mornings. To ensure the most relaxed experience and prompt service, we suggest aiming for appointments earlier in the morning or mid-afternoon on weekdays, avoiding peak times if your schedule allows. The passport window closes promptly at the designated time, so arriving a few minutes early is always beneficial.

For most adult passport renewals (Form DS-82), you will typically mail your application directly to the National Passport Processing Center. The Beaumont Post Office primarily processes new passport applications (Form DS-11) or renewals for minors, or if your previous passport was issued more than 15 years ago, was damaged, lost, or stolen, or if your name has legally changed and you cannot document it. If you meet the criteria for a mail-in renewal, you can pick up the necessary DS-82 form at our Beaumont Post Office or download it online. However, if your situation requires an in-person application due to the aforementioned circumstances, you absolutely can schedule an appointment at 950 Beaumont Avenue for assistance with your renewal.

Once your passport application has been accepted at the Beaumont Post Office and mailed to the National Passport Processing Center, you can track its status online. The most reliable method is to visit the U.S. Department of State’s official passport status checker website at passportstatus.state.gov. You’ll need your last name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number to access the information. While our local Beaumont Post Office clerks cannot provide real-time updates on processing, they will give you a tracking number for the mail service used to send your documents to the State Department. This allows you to monitor its initial transit. Status updates typically become available online within 7-10 business days after your application has been received by the processing center.

Parking for the Beaumont Post Office is designed for convenience, though strategy can enhance your visit. The primary and most recommended option is the free 35-space paved parking lot located directly behind the building, accessible via a clearly marked entrance on 9th Street, just east of Beaumont Avenue. This lot usually has ample availability, especially during mid-day hours, making it the most stress-free choice for your passport appointment. For those who prefer street parking, there are a limited number of unrestricted spaces along 9th Street and 10th Street, typically within a half-block walk. Beaumont Avenue itself offers metered street parking directly in front of the post office, costing $0.75 per hour, payable at the kiosk or via the ‘ParkMobile’ app. These spaces have a 2-hour limit between 8 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday. During summer months in Beaumont, temperatures can soar, so parking in the shade offered by the rear lot’s perimeter trees or a quick dash from a street space is advisable to minimize exposure. Conversely, winter mornings can bring ground frost; exercise caution on the paved surfaces. For appointments, aiming for the free lot on 9th Street will ensure you have plenty of time without worrying about meters or tickets, positioning you approximately 0.1 miles (a 2-minute walk) from the main entrance.
