📖 About this office
The Waterbury Lakewood Post Office on Lakewood Road serves the northeastern residential neighborhoods of Waterbury, including the Lakewood district — a quieter alternative to the downtown Grand Street location for residents on that side of town. The office occupies a standalone building off Route 73, convenient for applicants arriving by car from the Lakewood, Bucks Hill, or Brooklyn neighborhoods.
Like all USPS passport acceptance offices, appointments are required and can be booked at tools.usps.com. Applicants should arrive with their completed State Department form, original proof of citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a valid photo ID, and a 2-inch by 2-inch passport photo. Note that this location does not offer on-site passport photo services, so plan to obtain your photo at a nearby pharmacy or print shop before your appointment.
For Waterbury residents weighing their options, the Waterbury passport offices page summarizes all three local acceptance facilities — including the downtown post office and Waterbury Probate Court — so you can choose the most convenient spot. Applicants needing emergency same-day processing should contact the Connecticut Passport Agency in Stamford, accessible via I-84 East in under an hour.
💡 Good to know
Passport photos are not available at this branch — secure yours in advance at a nearby pharmacy or photo shop before your appointment. Appointments book quickly during spring travel season (March–June), so schedule at least 3–4 weeks ahead of when you need your completed passport. Routine processing runs 6–8 weeks; expedite for 2–3 weeks at additional cost. Browse the full Connecticut passport office directory for statewide options if slots here are full.
