📖 About this office
The Key West Post Office occupies a historic building on Whitehead Street in the heart of Old Town, steps from Duval Street and the Southernmost Point marker. As Monroe County island residents and visitors know, reaching the mainland requires crossing 18 miles of bridges — which makes having a reliable passport acceptance facility right in town genuinely valuable. This USPS location handles complete first-time adult and child passport applications by appointment.
Applicants submit Form DS-11 in person here; staff witness the signature and forward the application to a regional processing center. Because Key West draws a significant year-round tourism community and many residents travel internationally for work or leisure in the Caribbean and beyond, this post office sees steady passport traffic. Book an appointment through the USPS online scheduler before visiting.

💡 Good to know
Bring your original citizenship document (U.S. birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a government-issued photo ID, the completed DS-11 form (do not sign in advance), one passport photo, and the applicable government fee. Expedited processing is available for an additional fee. If you need a passport urgently, the Miami Passport Agency (approximately 160 miles north on US-1, roughly 3.5 hours) handles same-day and next-day appointments for travelers with imminent departure dates.
