Passports

Please note: For your safety and convenience, appointments are required for Notary Commission and Passport Application services at our Downtown, North Annex, and South Annex locations.

ATTENTION: All passport applications must be accompanied by their own individual appointment (i.e., if you are a family requesting multiple passport application submissions, you must schedule a separate appointment for each application). Failure to adhere to this policy may result in the inability to submit all applications.

The Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts partners directly with the U.S. Department of State to assist customers with processing passport applications. While the Clerk's office acts as an application adjudicating agency, we are not the direct issuing agency of the actual passport.

Please read carefully as some processes, fees, and deliverables may have changed.

***Processing times listed below are provided by the U.S. Dept. of State and may vary based on national demand. The Office of the Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts shall bear no liability for any/all passports that are delayed by the U.S. Dept. of State.
