📖 About this office

The University Place Post Office at 6817 27th Street W serves the quieter suburban stretch west of Tacoma, close to the shops and parks of University Place and the neighborhoods around Chambers Bay. For families on this side of the county, it is a calmer place to start a passport application than the downtown branches.

The counter accepts the in-person DS-11 for adults applying for the first time and for children, verifying documents and mailing the sealed packet to the State Department. Appointments are the norm, so reserve online before you go. Renewing an existing adult passport is usually a mail-only step — details are on our Tacoma-area passport page.

💡 Good to know

Bring your own 2x2 passport photo, since availability of on-site photos varies by branch. This location is handy if you live west of I-5; for counters closer to central Tacoma, browse the Washington offices list.
