📖 About this office
The Carrollton Station Post Office serves one of New Orleans' most storied uptown neighborhoods at 3400 S Carrollton Ave, at the bend of the Carrollton streetcar line near Palmer Park. For residents of Carrollton, Riverbend, Broadmoor, and Mid-City, this location is often the most practical place in Orleans Parish to begin a passport application without venturing into the crowded downtown corridor.
As a designated USPS passport acceptance facility, Carrollton Station processes new adult passport applications, child and minor passport filings, and replacements for lost or stolen travel documents. Applicants must arrive with a completed DS-11 form, original proof of U.S. citizenship (such as a certified birth certificate), a government-issued photo ID, two compliant passport photos, and applicable government fees. Appointments are strongly recommended and can be made through the USPS online scheduling tool.
Traveling by public transit? The St. Charles streetcar stops nearby, and several NORTA bus lines serve the S Carrollton corridor. For a full overview of acceptance offices across the city, visit the New Orleans passport offices page or browse all Louisiana passport locations.
💡 Good to know
Carrollton Station is a popular alternative to the busier downtown facilities for applicants in uptown New Orleans. Because appointment slots fill quickly, especially ahead of peak summer travel, book as early as possible using the USPS scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas/. Families applying for child passports should note that both parents or guardians typically must be present or provide a signed consent form (DS-3053). If your travel date is within two weeks, bypass acceptance offices and contact the New Orleans Passport Center at One Canal Place directly.
