U.S. Post Office

The Lynn Post Office is the United States Postal Service’s location in downtown Lynn, offering the retail counter services of a full-service post office for mailing letters and packages and buying stamps. Business customers can manage bulk mail and business reply mail accounts and apply for new business reply mail permits, and residents can rent PO boxes or arrange hold mail and change-of-address requests through the office and the USPS system.

The office also accepts passport applications. People can apply for or renew US passports during walk-in hours or by appointment outside those times, and passport-quality photos can be taken on site. Applicants should bring two forms of identification with copies, a completed application form and the required fee, and current requirements and costs are posted on the State Department’s travel site, so it is worth checking before a visit.
