📖 About this office
The Galveston Main Post Office, a historic landmark at 601 25th Street in the heart of Galveston Island, serves as one of the island city's primary passport application acceptance facilities. Housed in the iconic Galveston United States Post Office and Courthouse building — listed on the National Register of Historic Places — this location combines civic heritage with practical federal services for island residents and visitors alike.
As a USPS passport acceptance agent, trained postal staff here witness and seal completed passport applications before forwarding them to the State Department for processing. Both new adult passports and first-time child passport applications are handled at this counter. Passport photos are taken on-site, eliminating the need for an extra stop before your appointment. All applications submitted here are routed for standard or expedited mail processing — the office does not issue passports directly.
Galveston residents heading to the Texas passport acceptance office directory or planning a cruise departure from the Port of Galveston should factor in processing times well ahead of travel. Appointments at the Galveston Main Post Office are made through the USPS online scheduler at tools.usps.com.
