📖 About this office
The North Oakland Post Office stands at 4900 Shattuck Avenue, on the arterial that stitches together the downtowns of Oakland and neighboring Berkeley. For residents of the Temescal, Rockridge, and Bushrod neighborhoods, this is the closest acceptance window and a convenient alternative to the busier waterfront branch.
Applicants can file first-time adult passports here, applications for children under 16 with the required parental consent, and replacements that do not qualify for renewal by mail. Its position along the Berkeley border also makes it handy for university-adjacent applicants heading south into Oakland.
Set on a lively commercial stretch of Shattuck, this office lets you pair a passport visit with the cafes and shops of North Oakland. It is one of the acceptance sites detailed on the Oakland city page.
💡 Good to know
Reserve a passport appointment through the USPS scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas rather than assuming walk-in space. Bring a completed DS-11 that you leave unsigned until the acceptance agent asks, original proof of citizenship, a photo ID with one photocopy, and two separate fee payments. If you are applying for a child, both parents or guardians generally need to be present with the minor. See the wider Oakland list to compare with downtown and waterfront branches.
