📖 About this office
The Alridge Station post office on N.W. Seventh Avenue brings passport acceptance to the northwest side of Fort Lauderdale, a short hop from the downtown core along Sistrunk Boulevard. This neighborhood USPS branch executes Form DS-11 applications for first-time applicants, children, and anyone who cannot renew by mail.
A postal clerk acting as an authorized acceptance agent checks your citizenship proof and photo ID, watches you sign, then seals the packet for mailing to the State Department. Two separate payments are required — one to the U.S. Department of State and one to the Postal Service for the execution fee — so plan your forms of payment ahead of time.
For residents on the west and northwest sides, Alridge Station is often the quickest of the Fort Lauderdale acceptance offices. If it is booked, the Florida office directory lists nearby alternatives across Broward.
💡 Good to know
Bring two payments: the State Department application fee and a separate execution fee payable to USPS. Walk-ins may be accepted but are not guaranteed, so calling ahead saves a wasted trip. Comparing counters? The Fort Lauderdale city guide lays out which office fits which applicant.
