**US Post Office Expands Passport Services with Extended Hours**
In an effort to make passport application and renewal services more accessible to Americans, the US Post Office has announced that it will be expanding its passport services with extended hours at select locations across the country. The new extended hours will make it easier for busy individuals to apply for or renew their passports without having to take time off work or school.
The US Post Office is the largest passport acceptance facility in the country, with over 7,000 locations that offer passport services. With the new extended hours, select post offices will now be open on evenings and weekends to accommodate those who are unable to visit during traditional business hours.
“We understand that applying for a passport can be a time-consuming process, and we want to make it as convenient as possible for our customers,” said Postmaster General, Megan J. Brennan. “By expanding our hours, we hope to make the passport application and renewal process more accessible to all Americans.”
The extended hours will vary by location, with some post offices offering evening hours on weekdays and others offering weekend hours. Customers are encouraged to check the hours of their local post office before visiting to ensure that they can take advantage of the expanded services.
In addition to the extended hours, the US Post Office has also announced that it will be introducing a new appointment system for passport services at select locations. This will allow customers to schedule appointments in advance, reducing wait times and ensuring a more efficient experience.
“We are always looking for ways to improve our services and make the passport application process smoother for our customers,” said Brennan. “The new appointment system will help us better manage customer flow and provide a more personalized experience for each individual.”
The US Post Office is also working to streamline the passport application process by introducing more self-service kiosks at select locations. These kiosks allow customers to complete their passport applications electronically, reducing the need for paper forms and expediting the processing time.
“We are constantly working to improve our passport services and make the process more efficient for our customers,” said Brennan. “By introducing self-service kiosks and expanding our hours, we hope to make applying for a passport easier and more convenient for all Americans.”
Overall, the US Post Office is committed to providing top-notch passport services to Americans across the country. With the introduction of extended hours, a new appointment system, and self-service kiosks, the post office aims to make the passport application process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
