📖 About this office
The Monterey Park Post Office on West Garvey Avenue is a U.S. passport acceptance facility, one of the many USPS branches authorized by the State Department to handle the in-person step of a passport application. Clerks here confirm your identity, watch you sign the DS-11 and forward the sealed packet for processing, which is exactly what every first-time applicant, child under 16 and lost-or-stolen replacement needs.
Appointments are booked through the USPS online scheduler rather than by simply walking in, so plan ahead. This branch does not advertise on-site passport photos, so if you don't already have a compliant 2x2 photo, the city's Bruggemeyer Library desk can take one for you. Up-to-date fee amounts and processing timelines live on the California passport page .
💡 Good to know
Schedule your appointment online through the USPS system before you arrive, and bring a passport-compliant photo since this branch doesn't take them on site. Come with your completed but unsigned DS-11, original citizenship document, a photocopy and photo ID. Prefer photos handled for you? Try the city library desk instead.
