Cary, North Carolina – The Cary Post Office recently announced that it will be offering passport services to the public. This new initiative aims to provide convenience and accessibility to residents in Cary and the surrounding areas who require passport services.
The Cary Post Office, located at 1250 NW Maynard Rd, Cary, NC 27513, is now accepting passport applications by appointment only. This service is available for first-time applicants, minors, and those who need to renew their passports.
To apply for a passport at the Cary Post Office, residents can schedule an appointment by calling (919) 460-6005. Appointments are available Monday through Friday from 9 am to 3 pm. Walk-ins are not accepted at this time.
“We are excited to offer passport services to the residents of Cary and the surrounding areas,” said Postmaster John Smith. “We understand the importance of having a valid passport for travel, and we want to make the application process as easy and convenient as possible.”
