What service does USPS provide in cooperation with the Department of State?

The USPS provides Passport Services in cooperation with the Department of State, making it easier for customers to apply for and receive their passports through local postal offices. This collaboration streamlines the passport application process, providing a convenient option for individuals without the need to visit a Department of State facility directly.

Services like visa assistance or travel-related support are typically handled by the Department of State or other entities, rather than within the purview of USPS. Similarly, health insurance applications are unrelated to the services offered by USPS and are managed through different systems and providers. This focus on facilitating passport applications is a significant part of the USPS's role in assisting the public with important government-related processes.
