📖 About this office
The Chambersburg Post Office serves as the primary passport acceptance facility for Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Situated at 308 Lincoln Way East in the heart of downtown Chambersburg — the county seat — this federal post office processes first-time passport applications, renewals submitted by mail, and applications for minor children. Its central location makes it the go-to option for residents throughout the borough and surrounding townships.
Passport applicants must schedule an appointment through the USPS online appointment system. Bring your completed DS-11 form, original proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid government-issued photo ID, a photocopy of that ID, one passport photo, and the applicable government fee. Staff will review your documents and forward the application to a regional processing center. For details on Pennsylvania passport services broadly, visit the Pennsylvania passport offices page.
Chambersburg sits along the Great Wagon Road corridor of the Cumberland Valley, and many residents travel east to the Philadelphia Passport Agency when urgent international travel requires a same-week appointment. For routine applications, this post office is the most convenient starting point in Franklin County.
