Willow Glen Station Post Office

Willow Glen Station Post Office anchors passport acceptance services in the heart of San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood, a leafy residential district just south of downtown. The office at 1750 Meridian Ave accepts first-time passport applications and child applications on a scheduled, appointment-only basis, putting you in front of a trained acceptance agent without the uncertainty of a walk-in queue.

Applicants come here to have their DS-11 form witnessed, their supporting documents reviewed, and their fees submitted — both the application fee payable to the Department of State and the acceptance fee payable to USPS. Passport photos are available on-site, which simplifies the trip for families and first-time travelers. The office's mid-peninsula location also makes it a practical stop for residents of Los Gatos, Campbell, and the southern avenues of San Jose who prefer a neighborhood setting over a busier downtown facility.

This USPS acceptance office does not issue passports — your application travels to a processing center after submission, with routine turnaround typically measured in weeks. If your travel date is within 14 days, you will need an appointment at the San Francisco Passport Agency (~50 miles north) rather than a local acceptance office. Minors under 16 must appear in person with both parents or legal guardians, or with the notarized consent of the absent parent. Bring originals — not photocopies — of your supporting documents, as the agent cannot accept copies in lieu of originals.
