📖 About this office
The Gus Yatron Post Office anchors passport acceptance in northern Reading, occupying the large postal facility at 2100 North 13th Street that Congress renamed in 1994 for the late Berks County congressman. It is the busiest USPS acceptance point in the city and a practical first stop for residents across Reading and the surrounding boroughs.
Clerks here witness your signature on Form DS-11, verify your proof of citizenship and identity, seal the packet, and forward it to a State Department processing center. This covers first-time adult books, applications for children under 16, and replacements for a lost, stolen, or damaged passport. On-site passport photos are typically available, so you can often handle the whole submission in one visit.
The counter runs by appointment through the USPS scheduler rather than walk-in, and it pauses for a midday closure, so booking a slot in advance keeps things moving. For renewals that qualify by mail, you can skip the appointment entirely and file directly with the State Department.
💡 Good to know
Book your slot at usps.gov/scheduler and arrive with the DS-11 completed but unsigned, since a clerk must watch you sign. If you also need documents notarized or a court record for a name change, the Berks County Prothonotary's Office downtown is the other Reading acceptance point worth knowing.
