📖 About this office
The Normandy Post Office serves the northern neighborhoods of Miami Beach — Normandy Isle, Normandy Shores, and the corridor along 71st Street — providing passport acceptance services for residents who would otherwise have to travel down to South Beach or cross the causeways into mainland Miami. At 525 71st Street, the office is close to public bus routes and surrounded by a dense residential community that has its own distinct character from the tourist-heavy south end of the island.
As a USPS acceptance facility, Normandy requires appointments for passport applications. The staff process DS-11 forms for first-time adult and child applicants, verify identity documents, and collect government fees on behalf of the State Department. Routine and expedited applications are both accepted; the difference lies in the processing fee paid to the government, not the in-person submission process.
Passport photos are not available at this location, so applicants should arrive with two compliant 2×2-inch photos already prepared. For residents of the Normandy area exploring their options, the Miami Beach city guide lists all acceptance offices on the island. Applicants facing true last-minute travel emergencies have a significant advantage: the Miami Passport Agency — one of only 26 walk-in passport agencies in the country — is fewer than 5 miles from Normandy Post Office.
💡 Good to know
Book your appointment online at tools.usps.com or call 305-864-9868 before arriving — walk-ins are not accepted. Bring your completed DS-11 form, proof of US citizenship (original birth certificate or prior passport), a valid government-issued photo ID, and two 2×2-inch passport photos. The 5 acceptance fee is paid to USPS; the 30 government fee (adult routine) is paid separately by check or money order made out to the US Department of State. If your trip is within two weeks, contact the Miami Passport Agency directly — it is the faster path and is genuinely nearby.
