This post office does not offer passport service and the staff also didn’t have any information or guidance. It would be helpful if this location could at least provide basic information.

Awesome, friendly and courteous staff. I reached 15 mins early for my passport appointment, they had just opened. I offered to wait but the lady, think her name is Maria, said no worries we can help you. Was in and out in 10 mins.
