📖 About this office
Named for the late congresswoman and civil-rights icon, the Barbara Jordan Branch Post Office at 1500 Hadley Street anchors passport acceptance services in Houston's Third Ward neighborhood. Sitting roughly a mile southeast of downtown, this USPS location is notable for occasionally accepting walk-ins when appointment slots allow — call 713-739-0616 ahead of your visit to confirm same-day availability, as this is one of the few Houston USPS branches with any walk-in flexibility.
The branch processes new adult passports, child applications, and passport renewals submitted by mail. Like all USPS acceptance offices, appointments booked through the USPS online scheduler at tools.usps.com are the most reliable way to secure a slot and avoid a wasted trip. The location also serves applicants from Midtown, Riverside Terrace, and the Museum District who want a neighborhood option that avoids downtown parking pressure.
Applicants who need an emergency passport can escalate to the Houston Passport Agency at 1919 Smith St — the Houston acceptance office guide explains which situations qualify. For context on acceptance locations statewide, the Texas passport page covers regional options across all 50 states.
💡 Good to know
This branch has one of the more flexible walk-in policies among Houston USPS locations, but availability changes daily. Call before visiting if you haven't booked through tools.usps.com. Bring the completed DS-11 form (do not sign it beforehand), proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid photo ID, and two passport photos. Checks and money orders should be made out separately to "USPS" (acceptance fee) and "U.S. Department of State" (application fee).
