Crowley Post Office Passport Services

While walk-ins are technically accepted at the Crowley Post Office, appointments are strongly encouraged, especially when applying for a passport for a minor. Scheduling an appointment ensures dedicated time with a postal worker who can carefully review all the required documentation, which is particularly important for minors due to the parental consent requirements. Appointments are typically scheduled through the USPS website or by calling the Crowley Post Office directly at 817-297-2211. It’s especially crucial to book in advance during peak travel seasons, such as the summer months or around school breaks, to avoid delays or potential denial of service if the office is too busy with scheduled appointments.

Yes, the Crowley Post Office does offer passport photo services. The cost for passport photos is typically around $15.00, but it’s always a good idea to confirm the price with the postal worker beforehand. The photo service is generally quick and convenient, saving you a separate trip to a drugstore or photo studio. However, it’s essential to arrive a few minutes early for your appointment to allow time for the photo to be taken before your passport application is processed. Make sure to remove any glasses or head coverings that may not be permitted in passport photos, as per the U.S. Department of State guidelines.

The cost of a passport depends on the applicant’s age and the type of passport being applied for. As of November 2024, a first-time adult passport book costs $130 for the application fee and $35 for the execution fee, payable separately. For minors under 16, the passport book application fee is $100 plus the $35 execution fee. Passport cards, which are valid only for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, have lower fees. Remember to bring two separate forms of payment to cover both the application and execution fees, as this simplifies the process. The Crowley Post Office accepts checks, money orders, and credit/debit cards for the execution fee, but the application fee often requires a check or money order made payable to the U.S. Department of State.

In most cases, both parents are required to appear in person when applying for a passport for a child under the age of 16 at the Crowley Post Office. If one parent cannot be present, they must submit a notarized Form DS-3053 (Statement of Consent) along with a copy of their driver’s license or other government-issued ID. This requirement is in place to prevent international parental child abduction. The postal workers at Crowley are very familiar with these rules and can guide you through the necessary steps to ensure compliance. To streamline the process, it’s advisable to have the DS-3053 form notarized before your appointment at a local notary public, such as those available at some banks or UPS stores in Crowley.

The Crowley Post Office accepts a variety of payment methods for passport application services. You can typically pay the $35 execution fee with a credit card, debit card, check, or money order. However, the passport application fee ($130 for adults, $100 for minors for a passport book) typically requires a check or money order made payable to ‘U.S. Department of State.’ It’s always a good idea to call the Crowley Post Office ahead of your appointment at 817-297-2211 to confirm their current payment policies, as these can sometimes change. Bringing multiple payment options will ensure a smooth transaction.

Parking at the Crowley Post Office is generally straightforward. The post office offers a dedicated parking lot directly in front of the building, accessible from South Crowley Road. This is a 28-space free lot. While the lot can sometimes fill up during peak hours, especially around lunchtime, spots usually become available relatively quickly. Street parking along South Crowley Road is limited but permitted, although it’s best to utilize the dedicated lot. There are no paid parking garages or meters in the immediate vicinity. During the summer months, the asphalt in the parking lot can become quite hot, so be mindful if you have young children. Conversely, during the winter months, be cautious of potential ice, particularly in the early morning. For those with appointments, arriving 10-15 minutes early provides ample time to secure a parking spot and prepare your documents before your scheduled time. If the main lot is full, consider parking on the side streets, such as West Oak Street, and walking the short distance to the post office. Parking is free on West Oak Street.
