Homestead Main Post Office

The Homestead Main Post Office anchors passport acceptance in South Miami-Dade from its longtime home at 739 Washington Avenue, a short walk from the shops and civic buildings of downtown Homestead. As a designated USPS acceptance agent, its window staff review first-time adult applications, applications for children and teens, and cases where a passport was lost or stolen, then forward the sealed packet to the State Department for processing.

This is the counter most Homestead residents reach for when they need to submit Form DS-11 in person, and it draws applicants from Florida City, Leisure City and the surrounding farm communities as well. Because passport acceptance here runs on scheduled appointments rather than a walk-in line, booking ahead through the USPS system is the surest way to be seen without a long wait.

If the calendar here is full, the newer City of Homestead acceptance facility at City Hall is only a few blocks away, and additional counters across Miami-Dade are listed on our Florida passport offices page.

Passport acceptance at this post office is handled by appointment, which is separate from its regular retail mail window, so schedule your DS-11 visit through the USPS booking tool before you arrive. Bring your completed application unsigned, original proof of citizenship plus a photocopy, and a valid photo ID; the fees to the State Department and the acceptance fee are paid in different forms, so confirm accepted payment methods when you book. If this location is booked, compare openings at the nearby City of Homestead City Clerk facility.
