📖 About this office
The Harvard Square Post Office, at 125 Mount Auburn Street, serves one of the most storied corners of Cambridge, a short walk from Harvard Yard and the university's cluster of colleges and museums. It is a USPS passport acceptance facility, which means it handles first-time DS-11 applications for adults and for children who must apply in person.
This branch is a natural fit for students, visiting scholars, and Harvard Square residents who need to submit an application without trekking into Boston. Because minors under 16 must appear with both parents or guardians, families often choose the Harvard Square office for its proximity to campus housing and the Red Line.
Plan on booking passport acceptance in advance through the USPS scheduler rather than dropping in. Arrive with an unsigned DS-11, your citizenship document, and a photo ID. Exploring other options? Our Cambridge office directory lists every acceptance point in the city.
💡 Good to know
Term-time in Harvard Square is busy, so student applicants should book early and bring every document in one folder to avoid a repeat trip. If timing is tight, check appointment availability at nearby Cambridge offices before settling on a date.
