📖 About this office
The Newport News Post Office on 25th Street serves as the main passport acceptance facility in the lower peninsula of the city, conveniently positioned in the historic south end near downtown Newport News. As a federally authorized acceptance agent, this USPS branch can receive and forward your completed DS-11 passport application, verify your documents, and witness your signature — though like all post offices, it does not issue passports directly.
Newport News is an independent city in Virginia, meaning it operates outside any surrounding county structure, and this central location draws applicants from neighborhoods stretching from Hilton Village to Port Newport. The office can also assist with passport photos and provides information on standard and expedited processing timelines through the Department of State.
For a full picture of where to apply across the state, the Virginia passport acceptance offices guide covers locations throughout the Commonwealth. Applicants in Newport News can also compare options at our Newport News passport offices page.
💡 Good to know
Appointments at this location are booked through the USPS online scheduling tool. Bring your DS-11 form (do not sign it before arriving), a photocopy of your ID, proof of citizenship, and a check or money order for the State Department fee — this office cannot accept credit cards for federal passport fees. As Newport News is an independent city, there is no county courthouse nearby, making USPS the most accessible option for many south-end residents. Check the Newport News city page for additional acceptance locations if your schedule needs flexibility.
