📖 About this office
The Palmer Square Post Office at 259 Nassau Street is Princeton's flagship USPS acceptance counter, tucked into the shops and cafes of the historic Palmer Square district. It is the most central choice for anyone living or working near the university, and clerks here process the DS-11 packet the same way as any accepting post office: they check your paperwork, watch you sign, and mail everything to the State Department.
This branch runs passport service by appointment during set midday windows, which keeps the wait predictable in a busy pedestrian area where street parking fills quickly. If you are comparing counters, this one pairs well with the quieter Carnegie Center location on the south side of Princeton for scheduling flexibility.
