- OMOlga ManovOct 30, 20251.0Title: Rude, Unprofessional and inhumane Service for family with newborn We had a 10:15 AM passport appointment on October 30, 2025, for our 6-week-old baby at this USPS (2727 Mermaid Ave, Brooklyn). My husband took the day off, we arrived early in hurricane like weather, and the place was empty. The clerk was unwelcoming and rude from the start. She didn’t even greet us. She looked at our baby’s photo for a second and said, “It won’t work — the ears aren’t visible.” When I asked what we could do, she actually said, “Go grow your baby’s ears — your baby is too small for a passport.” Our photo was taken professionally and fully meets U.S. Department of State guidelines, which do not require infants’ ears to show. It is clearly stated at the Department of State website requirements. Her attitude was rude, dismissive, and completely uncalled for. We left upset and frustrated after doing everything right. USPS needs to train staff in both professionalism and actual passport rules — no family should be treated this way. Unacceptable service, attitude, I would not recommend this location to anyone.

- DKDaniil KuzminOct 20, 20252.0I had appointment at 11:30 am for passport young man that was serving me told me. Person that does passport appointments on lunch brake since 11 am and will be back at 12:30 pm. I have one question what’s the point of appointments then ?
- YYYomylindaOct 20, 20251.0Employees from this post office who work delivering the mail and packages are the worst. My mail is constantly being put in the mailbox all crumbled up even during times where is clearly states "Do NOT Bend". Additionally, every time I am expecting a package from the USPS for example yesterday, they put it as Delivery attempted. Yet, when checking the ring camera; you can evidently observe that the USPS employee never actually attempted to deliver my package.
