📖 About this office
Gateway Station Post Office sits at 701 77th Avenue North in the northern reaches of St. Petersburg, near the Gateway area and the border with Pinellas Park. This USPS facility is a designated passport acceptance agent, meaning a trained postal clerk can review your DS-11 application, verify identity documents, collect your photo, and forward the sealed package to a regional processing center. Appointments are required and can be scheduled by calling 727-578-5068 or through the USPS online appointment tool at tools.usps.com.
Passport photos are sometimes available at USPS locations — call ahead to confirm whether the camera service is currently offered at this branch. The acceptance fee charged by USPS is separate from the government's application fee, and both must be paid at the time of your appointment. Because Gateway Station is near I-275 and major commercial corridors in north St. Petersburg, it is particularly convenient for residents of Gateway, Gandy, and the neighborhoods north of 54th Avenue.
For applicants weighing their options in the city, the two Pinellas County Clerk offices in St. Petersburg accept walk-ins without an appointment — a useful alternative if your schedule is unpredictable. More broadly, the Florida passport offices guide covers acceptance locations across the state and explains how processing timelines work.
💡 Good to know
Gateway Station is an appointment-only USPS acceptance site, so plan ahead and book your slot before showing up. Bring all required documents plus photocopies — the post office does not provide copying services. The government application fee and the USPS acceptance fee (5) are paid separately. If you need same-day or urgent passport processing, the Miami Passport Agency (~265 miles, about 4.5 hours south) is Florida's only official passport agency and requires an appointment via travel.state.gov.
