San Pedro Main Post Office

The San Pedro Main Post Office sits at 839 S. Beacon St., a short walk from the working waterfront and the shops of downtown San Pedro. It is the harbor district's designated passport acceptance site, where a postal clerk reviews your paperwork, witnesses your signature, and forwards your sealed application to a State Department processing center on your behalf.

This office is a natural first stop for residents of the LA Harbor area applying for a first passport book or card, renewing a passport that has expired or was issued when the holder was under 16, or completing an application for a child. Bring a completed but unsigned DS-11 form, proof of citizenship, a photo ID, and your fee payment; a passport photo can usually be taken here for an added charge. For more San Pedro options and background, see our San Pedro passport guide.

Because acceptance appointments are handled through the USPS scheduler rather than by walk-in, plan ahead during spring and early summer, when demand across California peaks.

Appointments for passport acceptance are booked through the official USPS scheduling tool, so confirm your slot before arriving with the whole family. Everyone named on an application must attend in person, including children, and a minor applying must appear with the parents or guardians providing consent. Parking near Beacon Street can be tight on weekday mornings, so allow extra time. Need a different community? Browse the full San Pedro listing.
