📖 About this office
The Larkin Smith Gulfport Post Office at 11110 Highway 49 is a full-service USPS facility in the northern part of the city, named for the late Mississippi congressman and serving a fast-growing residential corridor between Gulfport and the inland communities of Harrison County. Applicants from the Woolmarket, North Gulfport, and D'Iberville areas often find this location more convenient than the downtown post office.
Like all participating USPS acceptance locations, the Larkin Smith facility requires a passport appointment booked through the USPS online scheduler at tools.usps.com. The office handles new passport applications, child passport submissions, and situations where in-person acceptance is required — such as lost or damaged passports. Applicants should arrive with a completed DS-11 form, citizenship evidence, photo ID, and passport photos prepared in advance.
The Highway 49 corridor places this office within reach of Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, which is especially practical for travelers who realize they need passport documents close to a departure date.
