📖 About this office
The Modesto Paradise Station Post Office, on Paradise Road in the southwestern part of the city, is a full-service USPS facility that accepts passport applications by appointment. Located in a residential neighborhood near West Modesto, it draws applicants from the Sylvan and Riverdale corridors who prefer to skip the drive downtown.
USPS acceptance agents at Paradise Station process DS-11 passport applications for first-time applicants and those who must appear in person. Passport photos are typically available on-site, which saves applicants the extra stop before their appointment. Scheduling is handled exclusively through the USPS online appointment system at tools.usps.com, and slots fill up — especially heading into summer travel season.
The station sits about 3 miles southwest of downtown Modesto and serves a busy retail area near the Sylvan Corners. Its extended Saturday hours give working applicants a weekend option that the county clerk office does not offer, making it a practical choice for those who cannot get away during the Monday–Friday window.
