📖 About this office
The Buffalo Niagara Square Station Post Office sits at 229 W Genesee Street in the heart of downtown Buffalo, steps from Niagara Square and City Hall. This centrally located USPS facility accepts new passport applications and applications for children by appointment, making it one of the most convenient submission points for Erie County residents who work or live near the city center.
Applicants arrive with a completed DS-11 form, proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid government-issued photo ID, and a passport photo. The acceptance agent witnesses the signature on the spot and collects the USPS execution fee. Payment for State Department fees is made separately by check or money order. For details on scheduling an appointment at this location, visit the USPS Retail Customer Appointment Scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas/.
Buffalo has the advantage of hosting its own federal passport agency at 111 Genesee Street — just blocks from this post office — so residents facing urgent international travel within 14 calendar days can pivot to that facility after submitting their initial application here.
