Pampa Post Office Passport Services

The Pampa Post Office, located at 120 E. Foster Ave, offers passport services during specific hours, which are generally weekdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a lunch break closure between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. However, these hours are subject to change, and it’s crucial to confirm the exact times by calling (806) 665-0891 before your visit. Passport services are not available on weekends or federal holidays. Given the potential for fluctuations in staffing levels, especially during peak travel seasons, checking ahead ensures a smooth and efficient passport application experience.

When applying for a passport at the Pampa Post Office, ensure you have all the necessary documents to avoid delays. These include proof of U.S. citizenship (like a birth certificate or previous passport), a valid photo ID (such as a driver’s license), and a passport photo that meets specific requirements. You’ll also need the completed application form (DS-11 if you’re a first-time applicant, under 16, or your previous passport was lost or stolen). Having photocopies of your citizenship and ID documents is helpful. The Pampa Post Office staff can provide guidance, but being prepared streamlines the process.

Yes, expedited passport service is available at the Pampa Post Office for an additional fee of $60. Keep in mind that while expediting the application shortens the processing time, it does not guarantee same-day service or immediate approval. To further expedite the process, consider paying for 1-2 day delivery for the return of your new passport. While the Pampa Post Office processes the application quickly, the final decision rests with the Department of State. As of November 2024, even with expedited service, it’s best to apply well in advance of any planned travel to account for potential delays.

Yes, the Pampa Post Office offers passport photo services on site for a fee of $15. Ensuring your photo meets the strict requirements is vital for passport acceptance. The staff at the Pampa Post Office are familiar with these requirements and can take a compliant photo for you. This convenience eliminates the need to visit a separate photo studio before your appointment. If you choose to bring your own photo, double-check that it adheres to the State Department’s guidelines regarding size, background, and facial expression.

The cost of a U.S. passport varies depending on your age and whether you’re applying for a passport book, a passport card, or both. For adults (16 and older) applying for a new passport book, the fee is $130 payable to the Department of State, plus a $35 execution fee payable to the Pampa Post Office. For children under 16, the passport book fee is $100, plus the same $35 execution fee. Passport cards, which are valid only for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, are less expensive. Be sure to check the latest fee schedule on the Department of State’s website or inquire at the Pampa Post Office to confirm the exact costs before your appointment.

Parking at the Pampa Post Office can sometimes be challenging, especially during peak hours. The post office has a dedicated parking lot directly in front of the building on Foster Avenue. This lot provides approximately 30 spaces, including two designated for handicap parking. However, these spaces tend to fill up quickly between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM, when lunch breaks coincide with peak postal activity. If the lot is full, street parking is available on E. Foster Avenue and the adjacent streets, like Cuyler Street. Metered parking is enforced Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, costing $0.50 per hour with a two-hour limit. Be aware that during the summer months, the asphalt in the parking lot can become extremely hot, so wearing appropriate footwear is advised. During the winter, especially after a snowfall, the parking lot can become icy, so caution is necessary. For longer appointments or if you anticipate difficulty finding parking, consider parking a block away on N. Duncan Street, where free, unmetered parking is generally available. Walking from N. Duncan Street to the post office is a short 0.1-mile stroll. For optimal parking, scheduling your appointment during off-peak hours, such as early morning (8:00 AM to 9:00 AM) or late afternoon (3:00 PM to 4:00 PM), is highly recommended. This increases your chances of securing a parking spot in the dedicated lot and reduces stress related to finding parking before your appointment.
