VAN NUYS — The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has opened a new 2,000-square-foot Mega Passport Office at the Van Nuys Post Office, located at 15701 Sherman Way in Van Nuys. This new unit has additional staffing and expanded hours to make it easy and convenient to apply for a U.S. passport.
No appointments are required. Walk-in hours are Tuesday through Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. It is closed on Sunday and Monday. The new USPS Mega Passport Office serves the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, including Burbank, Agoura Hills, Canoga Park, Simi Valley, Tarzana, San Fernando, North Hollywood, Woodland Hills and Thousand Oaks.
The Postal Service has the products and services needed to submit a new passport or renewal application.

The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations. With more than 31,000 retail locations and the most frequently visited website in the federal government, usps.com, the Postal Service has annual revenue of more than $65 billion and delivers nearly 40 percent of the world's mail. If it were a private-sector company, the U.S. Postal Service would rank 42nd in the 2012 Fortune 500. The Postal Service has been named the Most Trusted Government Agency for seven years and the fourth Most Trusted Business in the nation by the Ponemon Institute.
