📖 About this office
The Federal Way Post Office on Pacific Highway South is the main USPS branch serving this South King County community, and it doubles as a passport acceptance facility for residents who need to submit a first-time application in person. Staff here review your completed DS-11, witness your signature, and forward the paperwork to the State Department for processing.
Because passport work is handled alongside regular retail mail service, the Postal Service takes these applications by appointment only, which are reservable roughly four weeks out through the USPS scheduler. Arrive about ten minutes early with your citizenship evidence, photo ID, a photocopy of that ID, and a passport photo, and expect the appointment itself to run around fifteen minutes per applicant. If you would rather apply closer to City Hall, the Federal Way municipal office is another local option.
💡 Good to know
This branch cannot renew an eligible adult passport over the counter; straightforward renewals go by mail using Form DS-82. Bring exact payment for the acceptance fee, since the State Department application fee is paid separately by check.
