📖 About this office
The St. George Post Office sits in Staten Island's northernmost neighborhood, just a short walk from the St. George Ferry Terminal where thousands of commuters cross daily between the borough and Lower Manhattan. At 45 Bay Street, this USPS location is ideally positioned for residents of the North Shore — including St. George, Tompkinsville, and Clifton — who prefer a convenient in-neighborhood option without traveling to the island's interior.
This office is a designated passport acceptance facility, authorized to process new applications for first-time adult applicants, children under 16, and anyone replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged passport. Acceptance agents verify identity, review supporting documents, and seal your application packet for forwarding to the U.S. Department of State. Appointments are required and are booked through the USPS online scheduler.
Given its proximity to the ferry, this post office is a practical first stop for Staten Island residents heading into Manhattan — you can drop off your passport application before catching the boat, or coordinate the visit on a day trip. Bring your completed DS-11, certified birth certificate or citizenship document, valid photo ID, passport photo, and fees split between the State Department and the USPS acceptance fee.
💡 Good to know
The St. George neighborhood is also home to the Richmond County Clerk's office just up the hill on Stuyvesant Place — a useful alternative if USPS appointment slots are full. Browse all locations through the Staten Island passport office guide. For travelers who need a passport urgently, the New York Passport Agency at 376 Hudson Street in Manhattan is reachable via the St. George Ferry and the 1 train, typically about 60–90 minutes door to door from this post office.
