📖 About this office

The Kendall Square Post Office, at 250 Main Street, anchors Cambridge's innovation district, surrounded by MIT, biotech firms, and tech offices near the Kendall/MIT Red Line stop. It operates as a USPS passport acceptance facility, executing DS-11 applications for adults seeking a first passport and for minors who must apply in person.

For the many professionals and graduate students who work in the Kendall corridor, this branch is the most convenient place to file an application over a lunch break rather than crossing the river. It keeps the passport process close to where people already spend their day.

Passport acceptance runs by appointment, so reserve a slot on the USPS scheduler ahead of time and bring an unsigned DS-11, proof of citizenship, and a valid photo ID. To weigh this against Cambridge's other branches, see our Cambridge passport office guide.

💡 Good to know

Weekday slots in Kendall Square can be scarce given the district's daytime workforce, so book early or look for an opening at a quieter time. Comparing branches? Our Massachusetts guide and the Cambridge directory can help you find the fastest appointment.
