📖 About this office
The Phoenix Main Post Office on East Van Buren Street is the city's flagship USPS facility and one of the most accessible passport acceptance locations in the metro area. Situated near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and the I-10 interchange, it draws applicants from across Maricopa County who combine a passport errand with air travel logistics or eastside commutes.
Acceptance is by appointment, bookable through the USPS scheduling tool at tools.usps.com. Staff verify original citizenship documents, witness the DS-11 signature, and collect the application fee — the State Department fee is paid separately via money order or personal check made out to the U.S. Department of State. Passport photos are available at many nearby drug stores and shipping centers if you need them before your visit.
Phoenix holds one of the highest passport application volumes in the Southwest, so slots at this location fill quickly. Browsing all Phoenix passport acceptance offices or checking the broader Arizona passport guide can help you find an earlier opening.
💡 Good to know
This is a high-traffic location near the airport, which means appointment slots can book out days or even weeks in advance during spring and summer travel peaks. Book as early as possible and have all documents ready — DS-11 (completed but unsigned), proof of U.S. citizenship (original birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a current government-issued photo ID, and a passport photo. The State Department fee must be paid by personal check or money order; the USPS acceptance fee is paid separately in cash or by card. If this location is full, the Phoenix passport office guide lists additional USPS acceptance sites throughout the city.
