- DSDesi Small-Rodriguez4 days ago5.0Absolutely 5 star experience to get passports renewed for my kids. The woman who was working is not only efficient but incredibly friendly and I’m so glad that there are still federal employees like her who provide great customer service. I wish I remembered her name. We were in and out in 15 minutes as walk-ins. You can even get your photo done there if you need it for an extra fee. My dad later went and got his passport renewed, and he had the same speedy, friendly, and efficient service. Thank you!
- NBNathaniel BeardonNov 10, 20251.0Girl in her mid 20s with long black straight hair working on 11/10/25 was extremely rude and unhelpful and should have more respect for the people who she attends to. I was asking a simple question and telling her I was confused on the specific matter and She no tutored me multiple times and repeat the same thing when I clearly needed more help. She had such a rude tone in her voice and was not trying to be helpful at all for the specific situation I was referring to.
- MKMorgan KynochOct 31, 20251.0Says that the self-service kiosk is open until 8:00pm but is not- the lobby and all doors are locked by 6:15pm. Saw an employee exiting the backside of the building and asked how to work the self-service kiosk, he responded “do you see the lobby door open?” And I responded “no” he just said “do you see the lobby doors open?!” And I said “they aren’t” then he said “exactly- come back tomorrow.” But the hours on the website are literally until 8:00pm. A disgrace and at least take pride in your work- if you say you are going to be open until a certain time then stay open until that time.
- QKQing KaschOct 12, 20254.0I came here to apply a passport after I got my naturalization certification. The guy who was on duty was fast and very nice. Afterwards I went to the DMV to apply a Real ID and didn't realize they need the ORIGINAL copy of my naturalization certification. So I went back to the USPS and asked the guy to give me back my naturalization certification for an hour to apply the Real ID and he gave back to me, which is very nice of him. I don't like they got rid of all the seatings in the hall, and there's no bathroom.
