On the day of your appointment, we recommend you take public transportation. Our parking lot is restricted to customers with handicap placards.

Arriving by Public Transportation: Take Amtrak or Metro-North Railroad to the Stamford Transportation Center (STC) which is located a half mile from the passport agency at 30 South State Street (at Washington Blvd). Taxi and bus services, and parking is available at STC.

You can also take a free trolley service from STC to the front of the former Fairway Market area, which is one block from the agency.

Arriving by Car: If you must drive to the agency, plan ahead. We do not have onsite parking and you must park on the street, in a public parking garage, or at the STC. Under Connecticut state law, you cannot idle, or remain in your car while it is running, outside the passport agency. You may may be dropped off in front of our customer entrance on Canal Street. Vehicles displaying valid handicap placards may park in the parking lot behind the building if designated spaces are available.
