Excellent location. Especially with Evans. He took the time to walk me through filling out certain forms when he didn’t have to. Down to earth and great customer service.

Wow I cannot say enough amazing things!!! I had an AWFUL experience Monday in Cranford trying to do a name change on my passport. I walked in and no one wanted to help me despite having an appointment, and they also told me I had the wrong form (it ended up being the correct form). After 45 minutes, my gut told me to leave and go to another post office. I walked into Fanwood today and was so pleasantly greeted by Evans who told me I indeed had the right form and walked me through the entire process. He was so wonderful and knowledgeable, and I am so happy my instincts told me to try another post office. Had I submitted my application the way they were advising, I would have received a rejection letter and wouldn’t have my passport in time for my vacation. Highly recommend Fanwood. They are truly wonderful here.

Yikes. A worker blatantly hit on me in a disrespectful manner. Extremely unprofessional and unnecessary.

I literally drive out of the way to come to this post office simply because of one person, EVANS. This lovely man is so polite and made both my sister and I’s experience for new passport and renewal passport such a pleasant experience.
