📖 About this office
The Cadman Plaza Brooklyn General Post Office stands at 271 Cadman Plaza East in the civic heart of Downtown Brooklyn, steps from Borough Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge. As Brooklyn's flagship USPS facility, it accepts passport applications by appointment — one of the busiest and most convenient submission points in Kings County for residents across the borough's northern and central neighborhoods.
Passport appointments here are managed through the USPS scheduling tool, and applicants should bring two identical passport photos, their completed DS-11 form, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a valid government-issued photo ID. The office is well served by multiple subway lines at Borough Hall and Jay Street, making it the natural choice for commuters or anyone combining a passport errand with a trip to Downtown Brooklyn.
