Lynnwood Post Office Passport Services

Yes, expedited passport service is available at the Lynnwood Post Office for an additional fee of $60. This option significantly reduces processing time. If you opt for expedited service, inform the clerk at window 3 during your appointment. Expedited applications are typically processed within 2-3 weeks, compared to the standard processing time. Remember to also select and pay for expedited shipping when mailing your application to ensure faster delivery of your new passport once it’s processed.

After submitting your passport application at the Lynnwood Post Office, you can track its status online using the application locator number printed on your receipt. This number is typically a combination of letters and numbers. Visit the U.S. Department of State’s website and enter the locator number to receive updates on your application’s progress. Allow approximately 7-10 business days for the application to appear in the system after submission at the post office. You can also sign up for email notifications to receive automatic updates on your application’s status.

The Lynnwood Post Office accepts several forms of payment for passport application fees. You can pay with cash, check, money order (payable to the U.S. Department of State), or credit card (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express). However, be aware that the acceptance of credit cards may depend on the specific equipment available at the time of your appointment; having a backup payment method, such as a check, is always a good idea. The separate acceptance fee of $35 that the post office charges for executing the passport application must be paid via cash, check, or money order, but NOT via credit card.

Passport photos submitted with your application at the Lynnwood Post Office must adhere to specific size and quality standards. The photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. The applicant’s head must be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25-35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. The photos must be in color, taken against a plain white or off-white background, and without any shadows or glares. You can obtain passport photos at the nearby Walgreens or Family Pharmacy on Highway 99 to ensure they meet the required specifications. The Post Office no longer provides passport photos, so please come prepared!

Yes, generally both parents or legal guardians must appear in person when applying for a passport for a child under the age of 16 at the Lynnwood Post Office. If one parent cannot be present, they must submit a notarized statement of consent authorizing the other parent to apply for the child’s passport. The statement should include a clear copy of the absent parent’s driver’s license or other government-issued ID. This requirement is in place to prevent international child abduction and ensure the safety and well-being of the child. Exceptions may be granted in certain circumstances, such as cases of sole custody with appropriate documentation.

Parking at the Lynnwood Post Office is available in a dedicated lot directly in front of the building, accessible from 208th Street SW. The lot provides approximately 35 free parking spaces, which can be moderately busy, particularly during peak hours between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays. An alternative strategy is street parking on 208th, though availability is limited and subject to a 2-hour restriction. During the summer months, the asphalt lot can become quite hot, so be mindful of leaving pets or sensitive items in your vehicle. In winter, the lot can be icy, especially during early morning appointments, so exercise caution when walking. Given the potential for parking congestion, arriving 15-20 minutes before your scheduled appointment is advisable to secure a spot and avoid any unnecessary delays. There are no nearby parking garages within walking distance; therefore, the on-site lot is the primary option.
