LiteBlue eOPF: USPS Personnel Records
LiteBlue eOPF is used to access your electronic Official Personnel Folder that contains important employment records, including documents related to personnel actions during your USPS career.
USPS maintains an Official Personnel Folder for its employees to document employment history and protect the legal and financial rights of both the employee and the Postal Service. You can check an employment record, find a personnel document, or save a copy of your records.
What Is USPS LiteBlue eOPF?
It is the electronic version of your official personnel file. Instead of relying only on paper records, your employment documents are stored electronically and can be accessed through the appropriate USPS or federal system. Current USPS employees have direct access to eOPF through LiteBlue.
Information You Can Find in Your eOPF
Your eOPF can contain official documents connected to your federal employment. Depending on your employment history, you may find records related to:
The exact documents in your folder depend on your employment history and the records filed for you. One of the most commonly needed documents is the SF-50, Notification of Personnel Action. It documents certain personnel actions taken during your federal employment.
Because these records can be useful for future employment, benefits, retirement, or other administrative purposes, it is a good idea to save copies of important documents when you have access to them.
How to Access LiteBlue eOPF?
You can access your eOPF through LiteBlue if you are a current employee. The basic process is:
Your eOPF allows you to access your personnel documents rather than simply view a list of them. Depending on your access and the document, you can generally:
The federal eOPF system also supports selecting multiple documents for printing or downloading. If you need a record for your personal files, saving a PDF copy is often more convenient than repeatedly logging in to find the same document.
Find SF-50 in eOPF
If you are looking for an SF-50, your personnel documents are organized within your electronic personnel folder. Look through the available documents and identify the SF-50 associated with the personnel action you need.
You may have multiple SF-50 forms because an SF-50 can be issued for different personnel actions during your career. Your folder may contain records associated with:
If you need an SF-50 for a specific purpose, check the details on the form rather than simply downloading the first SF-50 you see.
Documents Missing
Sometimes you may expect to see a document but cannot find it. That does not necessarily mean the record has been lost. A personnel document may not appear immediately if the related personnel action has not been fully processed or the document has not yet been added to the electronic folder. Other possibilities include:
If the missing document is important, contact USPS Human Resources for assistance.
New 2026 eOPF Documents Request Service

How Former Employees Can Request eOPF Records in 2026?
If you qualify for the new DRS, the process is straightforward.
Step 1: Wait after separation
OPM recommends waiting at least 30 days after separation before requesting your records. This gives your former agency time to process separation documents that may not be available immediately.
Step 2: Sign in with Login.gov
Go to the DRS portal and select the Login.gov option. You may need to complete identity verification.
Step 3: Confirm your email address
The service uses the email address associated with your Login.gov account. Make sure you can access that email account.
Step 4: Request your documents
Submit the request through the DRS portal. The system will process your request after you end the session.
Step 5: Check your email
You should receive a fulfillment email within approximately 24 hours. Your records are provided through a secure, password-protected ZIP file.
Step 6: Download your records
The download link is time-limited. The link expires after 24 hours. If it expires before you download your records, you can submit another request. The ZIP file is password protected. Password uses your birthday and the last four digits of your Social Security number.
