Using a Post Office Locator
A post office locator is very convenient to help find a local post office. While the most convenient post office locator can be found online through various shipping companies, a phone book or a local town hall can serve as a good post office locator.
Here are the services that can be searched for through the United States Postal Service post office locator based on either a street and city or by zip code:
• Post Office locations
• Alternative locations to purchase stamps
• Automated postal centers
• Passport application services
• Collection boxes

• Post office boxes online
The United States Postal Service also provides a post office locator on their website for:
• U.S. Postal Inspection Service officer locater

Using this requires either a zip code or a city and state.
