Arlington South Station Post Office

Arlington South Station Post Office is located at 1210 South Glebe Road in the Columbia Pike corridor, one of Arlington County's most diverse and densely populated commercial strips. This branch serves the southern arc of the county, including the Green Valley, Nauck, and Glencarlyn neighborhoods, giving South Arlington residents a closer alternative to the Main Post Office on Washington Boulevard.

As a passport acceptance facility, this location handles first-time applications on DS-11 forms and is equipped to provide passport photos on site. Acceptance agents verify citizenship documents, witness your signature, and seal your application package for forwarding to the National Passport Processing Center. Like all USPS passport locations, services here are appointment-only; slots can be reserved at tools.usps.com/rcas/.

South Glebe Road is served by multiple ART and Metrobus lines, making this branch reachable from across South Arlington without a car. The location is particularly useful for families applying for child passports, as the Columbia Pike area has a high concentration of young families and school-age children who need travel documents.

South Arlington residents often find this branch more convenient than driving to the Main Post Office on Washington Boulevard. All three USPS locations in the county feed into the same National Passport Processing Center, so processing times are identical regardless of which branch you choose. Plan on 6-8 weeks for routine service or 2-3 weeks for expedited. For urgent travel needs, the Washington Passport Agency in DC is roughly 5-6 miles away.
