Suitland Post Office

The Suitland Post Office at 4520 Suitland Road is the anchor passport counter for this stretch of inner-Beltway Prince George's County. It sits along Suitland Road just east of the Suitland Federal Center, a short hop from the Suitland Metro station on the Green Line, which makes it a practical stop for commuters who work in the District but would rather handle their DS-11 paperwork closer to home.

As a designated USPS acceptance facility, the branch reviews first-time adult applications, minor passports, and name-change or lost-book cases that cannot be renewed by mail. A postal clerk checks your citizenship evidence, witnesses your signature on the sealed application, and forwards everything to the State Department for processing. The office does not print passports on-site, so plan around standard federal turnaround times rather than expecting a same-day book.

Passport service here runs by appointment, so reserve a slot at the USPS scheduling tool before you go and bring the physical documents the clerk needs to witness. If this branch is fully booked, browse the other options on our Suitland passport page or widen the search across Maryland.

Appointments are booked separately for each applicant, so a family of four needs four reservations. Fees split into a State Department application fee (paid by card, check, or money order) plus a USPS acceptance fee; passport photos may be available at the counter but confirm when you book. For urgent international travel inside two weeks, the branch cannot expedite for you — that is a job for a passport agency, which you can read about on the Suitland overview.
