📖 About this office
The Whittier Main Post Office on South Michigan Avenue is the busiest passport acceptance point in this Los Angeles County city, handling first-time DS-11 applications for residents across the 90605 ZIP code and the surrounding neighborhoods off Whittier Boulevard. Clerks here review your citizenship evidence, witness your signature, and forward the sealed packet to the State Department on your behalf.
Because postal acceptance is handled by appointment through the USPS scheduler rather than on a walk-in basis, it pays to book a slot before you arrive, especially in late spring and summer when travel demand across California peaks. If this branch is fully booked, two library counters elsewhere in Whittier also process applications.
💡 Good to know
Bring an original proof of U.S. citizenship plus a photocopy, a valid government photo ID, and a compliant 2x2 photo; the counter cannot accept damaged or laminated documents. Fees are split between the State Department and the acceptance facility, so plan to pay in the forms each accepts. Applicants unsure which local counter fits their schedule can compare all three on the Whittier passport page.
