Services at Washington Post Office
Parking lot available. Here's what you can do at this location:
PO Box & Mail
- General Delivery
- Receive mail without a permanent address. Mail is held at the post office and you pick it up at the counter with a valid ID. Often used by travelers or people between moves.
- Accountable Mail Pickup
- Pick up items that require a signature: Certified Mail, Registered Mail, Collect on Delivery, insured packages, and Signature Confirmation items.
- Hold Mail Pickup
- Pick up mail that USPS has been holding while you were away. You can request a hold for up to 30 days through usps.com or at the counter.
- Package Pickup (Notice Left)
- Pick up a package that couldn't be delivered — the carrier left a slip at your door. Bring the notice and a valid ID.
- PO Box (Online Management)
- Rent a PO Box and manage billing online. A PO Box gives you a secure, private mailing address — useful if you run a business or want to separate personal and business mail.
Passport
- Passport Applications (By Appointment)
- Apply for a new passport or renew an expired one. Appointments are required — schedule at usps.com. Bring your documents, photos, and payment.
- Passport Photos
- Get a compliant passport photo taken on-site. The photo meets all U.S. Department of State requirements so your application won't be delayed.
Other Services
- Customer Service Referrals
- Staff can help answer questions or direct you to the right resource for issues with mail delivery, address changes, or other USPS services.
