📖 About this office
The USPS Woodmoor Branch Post Office in Silver Spring serves one of Montgomery County's most diverse and densely populated residential corridors. Situated on West University Boulevard, this branch occupies a convenient spot between the Woodmoor shopping area and the I-495 interchange, making it a natural stop for residents preparing international travel documents throughout southern Montgomery County.
Passport applications here are handled by appointment-only acceptance agents who review your supporting documents, witness your signature, and seal your completed packet for forwarding to the State Department. This process covers first-time adult and child applications as well as replacements for lost, stolen, or damaged passports — anything requiring an in-person agent appearance. Renewals by mail do not need an appointment at this office.
Given Silver Spring's position just a short drive from the Maryland statewide passport office guide, applicants who need same-week travel documents can also look into the Washington Passport Agency in downtown DC, roughly six miles southwest. For the full range of offices serving the Silver Spring area, browse the Silver Spring passport acceptance page.
💡 Good to know
Appointments fill quickly at this branch during spring and summer peak seasons — book as early as possible at tools.usps.com. Bring your printed DS-11 (do not sign it beforehand), proof of citizenship, a government-issued photo ID, one passport photo, and the applicable government fee by check or money order. If applying for a child under 16, both parents or guardians must be present or provide a notarized consent form (DS-3053). See the Maryland passport guide for a complete checklist before your visit.
