Grapevine Main Post Office Passport Services

The Grapevine Main Post Office, located at 1251 William D Tate Avenue, offers passport services during specific hours that differ slightly from their general postal service hours. Passport services are typically available Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a lunch break observed between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. It’s always a good idea to call ahead at (817) 481-0031 to confirm the hours, especially around holidays, as they may be subject to change. Keep in mind that the last appointment is usually scheduled 30 minutes before closing to allow ample time for processing applications. Remember that while the post office itself may be open later for regular mailing services, passport services cease at 4:00 PM.

If you require expedited passport processing, the Grapevine Main Post Office can assist you with that, but it’s essential to understand the procedure. You will need to request expedited service when submitting your application and pay the additional expedite fee, which as of November 2024, is $60 above the normal processing fee. They will help you ensure all the required documentation is in order and properly submitted. As of November 2024, routine processing averages 7.2 weeks, while expedited averages 2.5 weeks. You also have the option of contacting the National Passport Information Center to schedule an appointment at a regional agency if your travel is within 14 days. Bear in mind that these appointments are limited and often require significant travel.

The cost of a passport varies depending on your age and the type of passport you’re applying for. For adults (16 and older) applying for a new passport, the fee is $130 for the passport book and $30 for the passport card. Children under 16 pay $100 for the passport book and $15 for the passport card. There is also a $35 execution fee that is paid to the Grapevine Main Post Office. If you opt for expedited service, there’s an additional $60 fee. So, if you’re an adult applying for a new passport book with expedited service, you’ll pay a total of $225. Make sure to bring a check or money order, as cash and credit cards are not always accepted for the application fee itself.

Whether you can renew your passport at the Grapevine Main Post Office depends on your eligibility. If your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years, you were over the age of 16 when it was issued, and it’s still in good condition (not damaged), you are likely eligible to renew by mail using form DS-82. You can pick up this form at the post office. However, if your passport doesn’t meet these criteria, you’ll need to apply in person using form DS-11, which can also be done at the Grapevine Main Post Office, requiring an appointment. The staff can guide you through determining which form is appropriate for your situation and answer any specific questions.

While the Grapevine Main Post Office does not offer in-house passport photo services, there are convenient options nearby. Just a short 0.3-mile drive or walk down William D Tate Avenue, you can find passport photo services at the CVS Pharmacy located at 1101 Ira E. Woods Avenue. Alternatively, Alpha Wellness Center, only 0.1 miles away on William D Tate Avenue, also provides passport photo services. Be sure to call ahead to confirm their hours and pricing, as costs typically range from $10 to $15. Having your photo taken before your appointment will streamline the application process.

Parking at the Grapevine Main Post Office is generally straightforward, though it can get crowded during peak hours. There is a dedicated parking lot directly in front of the building, accessible from William D Tate Avenue. The lot provides approximately 35 spaces. If the main lot is full, overflow parking is available along Ball Street, just one block east of the post office; however, be mindful of posted parking restrictions. There are no parking garages within immediate walking distance. For those with appointments scheduled during the busiest times (lunch hours and late afternoons), it’s wise to arrive 10-15 minutes early to secure a parking spot. During the summer months, be aware that the asphalt can get very hot, so avoid wearing sandals if possible. In the winter, ice can sometimes be a factor on the parking lot’s surface, especially after overnight freezes. There are no paid parking options directly adjacent to the post office. Street parking on Ball Street is free but limited to two hours. For longer appointments or if you prefer a guaranteed spot, consider parking at the Grapevine Main Street parking, roughly 0.4 miles away, a 7-8 minute walk.
