📖 About this office

The Scott Post Office on Cameron Street handles passport acceptance for the western suburbs of Lafayette Parish, including the town of Scott and nearby communities along I-10. Scott is a small but growing Lafayette Parish municipality — sometimes called the "Boudin Capital of the World" — and this USPS facility gives residents a convenient alternative to driving into central Lafayette. Acceptance agents at this location verify identity documents, witness signatures on DS-11 applications, and collect the sealed package for State Department processing.

This post office operates its passport acceptance service on a walk-in basis during designated passport hours, making it one of the few facilities in the Lafayette area where applicants do not always need an advance appointment. Passport photos are not confirmed on-site, so applicants should bring two pre-made 2×2 photos or plan to stop at a nearby pharmacy before arriving. For children, both parents or guardians must typically be present when applying for a first passport.

Residents across Lafayette Parish can compare all verified facilities — including the downtown Lafayette location — on the Lafayette passport offices guide, and the Louisiana statewide passport page covers processing timelines and the nearest passport agency for urgent travel.

💡 Good to know

The Scott Post Office is one of the acceptance facilities recommended directly by the Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court for residents seeking in-person passport services. Bring your completed DS-11, original proof of citizenship, a valid government photo ID, and two 2×2 passport photos — photo services are not confirmed at this location, so prepare photos before your visit. Fees require two separate payments: one payable to the U.S. Department of State and the $35 acceptance fee to the post office. Call 337-237-1589 before visiting to verify current passport hours, as schedules can change. If you need urgent passport services within 14 days, the Louisiana passport page includes information on reaching the New Orleans Passport Center about 135 miles east.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is a passport appointment required at the Scott Post Office?
The Scott Post Office generally accepts passport applicants on a walk-in basis during its posted passport hours (Monday–Friday 8:30 AM–1:30 PM, Saturday 9:00–11:45 AM). However, hours can change, so calling 337-237-1589 before your visit is strongly recommended.
Why is the Scott Post Office listed as a passport option for Lafayette residents?
The Lafayette Parish Clerk of Court — which previously accepted passport applications at its downtown Lafayette courthouse — discontinued that service and now directs residents to the Scott Post Office and the Lafayette Post Office on Moss Street as the two main acceptance locations in the parish.
