Passport Acceptance Offices in Lynnfield, Massachusetts

Lynnfield sits in Essex County just north of Boston, tucked between Route 128/I-95 and Route 1, and it keeps things simple for residents who need to apply for a first passport or a child's passport: the work is handled at the town's two U.S. Post Offices. The historic Lynnfield village split long ago into Lynnfield Center and South Lynnfield, and each still has its own branch, so you can pick whichever is closer to home.

The Lynnfield Post Office at 38 Summer Street serves the town center, while the South Lynnfield Post Office at 598 Salem Street covers the Pillings Pond and Suntaug Lake side of town, near the MarketStreet Lynnfield shopping district. Both are official passport acceptance agents that can witness your signature and seal your DS-11 application; both take appointments through the USPS scheduler, and neither takes passport photos on site, so plan to have your photo done beforehand.

These offices handle the routine acceptance step only. Fee amounts, the items to bring, and current processing times are gathered in the statewide Massachusetts passport page . If you're traveling in under two weeks and need an in-person expedite, the nearest federal passport agency is the Boston Passport Agency at 10 Causeway St, about 20 miles and 40 minutes south by car (by appointment only).

Because Lynnfield's two branches don't shoot passport photos, get yours done first at a pharmacy or photo shop, then bring the print to your appointment. Book the acceptance appointment early through the USPS scheduler, since small-town branches often have limited passport slots. For fees and document checklists that apply statewide, check the Massachusetts page before you go.
