How to Find Your Local Post Office and Check Its Hours

Use the USPS location finder to locate nearby facilities, filter by hours and services, and confirm the selected Post Office’s retail hours before you go.

Use the official USPS Find USPS Locations tool to search by city and state, ZIP Code, street address, or current location. Select Post Office if you need a staffed retail counter, then open a result and check the hours and services for the day you plan to visit.

Find nearby USPS locations

  1. Open the USPS location finder.
  2. Enter a city and state, ZIP Code, or street address, or choose Use Current Location.
  3. Choose Post Office as the location type if you need a staffed retail counter, then run the search. The default radius shown is 10 miles; adjust the distance or sort the results if needed.
  4. Open a result to review its facility details, including hours and available services.

Filter results for the time or service you need

The locator offers filters for weekday hours after 5 PM, Saturday hours, Sunday hours, and 24-hour facilities. It also lets you look for specific services, including passport appointments and pickup options. Check that the selected location offers the exact service you need; a nearby result is not necessarily the right type of facility.

Know which kind of location you are choosing

  • Post Office: Staffed by a USPS employee and offers retail window service during its stated retail hours.
  • National Retailer: May sell stamps and offer some mailing services.
  • Village Post Office: Offers a limited selection of postal products and services.
  • Contract Postal Unit: Located inside an existing business.
  • Self-service kiosk: A self-service option, rather than a staffed retail counter.

Check the hours for the right day and service

Open the individual location’s details and check the hours that apply to the date and service you need. Hours may differ by day and may include a break in the middle of the day. USPS locator documentation gives an example of a facility open from 8:00 AM to noon, closed for lunch, then open from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. As the USPS Web Tools User Guide puts it: “If the facility closes for lunch, two sets of Open and Close times will be returned.”

Pay particular attention to the retail window hours if you need help from an employee or a counter service. USPS says many Post Offices have after-hours lobbies with self-service kiosks and PO Box access, but lobby access does not mean the retail counter is open.

Compare nearby results before you leave

  • Distance: Adjust the search radius or sort results to find a convenient location.
  • Facility type: Confirm that the result is a staffed Post Office or another location type that provides the service you need.
  • Day and time: Check the hours for the specific day of your visit, including any midday closure.
  • Service availability: Verify details such as passport appointments or pickup options in the location listing.

Hours, lobby access, and services are facility-specific and can change. Recheck the live USPS listing before leaving. For help finding a location, USPS lists 1-800-ASK-USPS (800-275-8777).
