Address check: This map points to the St Peter Street visitor address. Peterhead is a separate Aberdeenshire town rather than an Aberdeen city-centre location, so people travelling from Aberdeen should allow for the interurban journey and their onward route in Peterhead.
Visit status: Turn2us lists Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday hours as 09:00–17:00, with Wednesday listed as 10:00–17:00. The same weekly pattern appears in the Peterhead local directory. Opening arrangements, appointment access and Scottish public-holiday closures can change, so use the instructions in your official message or Universal Credit account before setting out.
Travelling from Aberdeen to Peterhead
Peterhead location
The office is on St Peter Street in Peterhead town centre. It should not be confused with the Aberdeen Jobcentre at Ebury House on Dee Street.
Aberdeen bus connection
Stagecoach lists the X60 route between Aberdeen and Peterhead. Current departure times and stopping arrangements should be checked with the operator on the day of travel.
Peterhead interchange
Aberdeenshire Council describes Peterhead Transport Interchange as a town-centre arrival point used by local and longer-distance bus services. Confirm the walking route from the interchange to 63 St Peter Street separately.
Accessibility Information Listed for Peterhead
Turn2us lists full wheelchair access and an accessible toilet at this office. Its access notes also mention parking for disabled drivers at the rear, a level entrance, a lift, a loop system and access to British Sign Language signers.
These facilities were recorded in the directory entry rather than confirmed through a current building-access statement from DWP. Anyone requiring a particular adjustment should raise it through their official Jobcentre contact before attending.
Peterhead Service Area
Office-specific note: The Peterhead record describes the service area as Peterhead and surrounding villages. An Aberdeen address or an Aberdeen-related search does not automatically mean that the Peterhead office will manage the claimant’s appointment. GOV.UK directs users to enter their full postcode in the official local-office search to identify the appropriate location.
Visitor and Postal Address Difference
Do not travel to the DWP mail-handling address: The official DWP postal list assigns Peterhead Jobcentre Plus a mail-handling address in Wolverhampton. That address is for processing post and is not the Peterhead visitor location. The publicly listed local office address remains 63 St Peter Street, Peterhead, AB42 1UX.
Appointment and Visit Notes
Attendance may depend on an arranged appointment. Check the office name, date, time and any entry instructions shown in your Jobcentre letter, text message or Universal Credit journal. A walk-in service should not be assumed from the published opening hours.
Use GOV.UK or the contact details supplied by DWP when an appointment must be discussed. Benefit Office Finder UK cannot access claims or alter appointments.
Take only documents that DWP has requested. Do not send a National Insurance number, benefit claim number, Universal Credit login, bank information, passwords, identity documents or medical records to this or any other unofficial directory website.
