Usually this branch is slow and has a depressing air. There are a couple of older clerks that are friendly, quick, and helpful but others are in a bad mood most days so come mentally prepared.

I've never applied for a passport before so I'm not familiar with the process, I was turned away because I was missing some of the documents which is my fault.. but the clerk's attitude was rude and unhelpful, like he was doing me a favor answering my questions and being a burden to the line behind me. I walked out and booked an appointment at Los Altos instead.

Lamentablemente es un lugar muy patético llegue a solicitar el pasaporte de mi bebé y me atendieron de una manera muy grosera las 2 personas que trabajan ahí son groseros más la señora me habló muy feo solo por no saber el idioma inglés al final no me atendieron y busqué otro postal service si tiene la opción de buscar otro lugar definitivamente háganlo no pierdan el tiempo aquí, si pudiera no le doy ni una estrella.

Worst experience ever. If I saw the name right, the guy Reka does not want to work, he does not call for us even as we have a long queue waiting, and only do work when we have to walk to his front. Then he dismisses me without giving me a receipt, then after I asked him “could you scan it”, he then sighed big and reluctantly scan and gave me a receipt.

Terrible service.
I was out of the U.S. for a month and later found that my mail had been put on hold. I submitted a service request online and received a voice message this morning saying that I could pick up my mail here.
When I arrived, the woman at the front desk asked for my address and went inside to look for it. She came back and told me she couldn’t find anything and simply said, “I don’t know.”
I then told her that I had received a voice message. Instead of helping further, she started telling me not to be mad at her, saying she was “just trying to help” and that it wasn’t her who left the message.
Hello?? It is your job, and you are paid to help customers. You must help — not just “try” to help.
Her attitude was rude and unprofessional. I strongly doubt she even checked carefully. She then told me to come back on Monday, without a specific plan.
Very rude staff and extremely poor service. =..=
