Debree Station Usps Passport Services

At Debree Station USPS, routine passport processing, as of November 2024, averages 7.2 weeks, which involves the standard handling and mailing procedures by the State Department. Expedited processing, however, significantly reduces this timeframe to around 2.5 weeks. The expedited service involves an additional fee of $60, which you’ll pay at window 3 during your application process. This expedited fee doesn’t guarantee faster service, but it ensures your application is prioritized at each stage. For example, if you’re planning an international trip within the next month, or have unexpected travel needs, expedited processing at Debree Station USPS might be worth considering to receive your passport in time.

The cost of a passport at Debree Station USPS depends on the applicant’s age and the type of passport being applied for. For a first-time adult applicant (age 16 and over), the application fee is $130, payable by check or money order to the U.S. Department of State. There’s also a separate $35 execution fee payable to USPS, which can be paid by cash, check, money order, or debit card at window 3. For children under 16, the application fee is $100, with the same $35 execution fee. Passport renewals (Form DS-82) are $130 for adults and do not require the $35 execution fee if submitted by mail. Passport cards, which are valid for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, cost $30 for adults and $15 for children.

While Debree Station USPS accepts credit cards for the $35 execution fee, the $130 application fee to the U.S. Department of State must be paid via check or money order. It’s a good idea to come prepared with a checkbook or obtain a money order from a nearby location like the Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy at 201 West 21st Street, about a 2-minute drive from the post office. Keep in mind that personal checks must include your full name, address, date of birth, and phone number. Using a money order eliminates the risk of check-related issues and can streamline the application process. You can also pay the $35 execution fee using a debit card, as long as it has a Visa or Mastercard logo. Confirm accepted forms of payment at window 3 before starting the application process.

When applying for a passport at Debree Station USPS, you’ll need to bring several essential documents. First, you’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, such as an original or certified copy of your birth certificate issued by the city, county, or state of birth. For naturalized citizens, a Certificate of Naturalization is required. You’ll also need a valid, government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or military ID. If your ID was issued out-of-state, bring an additional form of identification, such as a Social Security card or credit card. Finally, you’ll need a passport photo, which can be taken at the post office for an additional fee, or you can bring one that meets the State Department’s requirements (2×2 inches, taken within the last six months, against a white background). It’s always a good idea to bring photocopies of your citizenship evidence and photo ID, as they may be requested during the application process.

Parking around Debree Station USPS can be somewhat limited, particularly during peak hours. Street parking is available on W 20th Street and Colonial Avenue, but spaces are often metered and subject to time restrictions. If you’re driving, plan to arrive at least 15-20 minutes early to allow time to find a parking spot. Alternatively, consider using a ride-sharing service like Uber or Lyft, or taking public transportation via the Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) bus routes #15 or #20. The #20 stops directly in front of the post office, which is very convenient. If street parking is your only option, be sure to pay attention to the posted signage to avoid parking tickets.

There’s also a small, unpaved lot behind the Wells Fargo on Colonial Avenue, approximately 0.2 miles north, but it’s primarily for bank customers and fills up quickly. During the warmer months, from June to August, the black asphalt can make the walk from distant parking spots uncomfortable, so consider bringing an umbrella for shade.
