Went in for passport renewal and picture. Did not have an appointment, but went right thru the process. Quick, friendly, knowledgeable service. Highly recommend!

I need to give a shout out to the lady who was working solo this morning. She balanced multiple passport appointments while also working on handling customers with mailing requests, all on her own. I appreciated how hard she was working while juggling everything on her own. She remained calm, friendly and focused even with the level of requests being handed to her. USPS is lucky to have her.

No Customer services and very rude. I’ve been here twice. Once to ask questions and second to try and renew my passport. Both ladies (w/dreads) had a very condescending tone from the start. Both were very dismissive as if they didn’t want to be bothered.
