📖 About this office
The Gretna Post Office at 406 Gretna Boulevard is the USPS acceptance point for the West Bank side of Jefferson Parish, a short drive south of the historic downtown core. Like other USPS locations, it reviews and accepts new and child passport applications by appointment, forwarding them to the State Department for processing.
It is a convenient one-stop if you are already handling mail here, and it complements the nearby Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court for applicants who prefer to lock in a time online rather than rely on office hours. Both are within a couple of miles of each other in Gretna.
For expedited same-day service tied to urgent travel, the New Orleans Passport Center across the river is the only option; details and fees are on the Louisiana overview.
💡 Good to know
Book your acceptance appointment through the USPS scheduler at tools.usps.com/rcas.htm rather than walking in, since slots fill up. Bring your completed but unsigned form, proof of citizenship and a valid photo ID. If no time is open, the Clerk of Court a few blocks north is a solid backup.
