Passport Acceptance Offices in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania

Willow Grove sits in eastern Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, an established suburb straddling Upper Moreland and Abington townships along the old Easton Road corridor north of Philadelphia. For passport applicants, the town is handy because it offers two very different acceptance options within a mile of each other.

If you want the familiar route, the Willow Grove Post Office on Easton Road takes DS-11 applications by appointment and suits first-time applicants and families with children. If you prefer a county-government counter, the Montgomery County Prothonotary keeps a Willow Grove satellite in the Courthouse East Annex, booked through its own scheduler.

Whichever you pick, both handle new adult books and minor applications, where a child must appear in person with a parent or guardian. Willow Grove itself is not home to a full passport agency.

The nearest one is the Philadelphia Passport Agency at 9th and Chestnut Street, roughly 18 miles and about 40 minutes south, and it serves only travelers with urgent trips inside two weeks. For everyone else, one of the local acceptance offices is the right starting point. Explore more of the state on the Pennsylvania directory.

Both Willow Grove offices work by appointment and neither takes passport photos on site here, so bring a compliant 2x2 photo. The county office charges a $35 execution fee on top of federal fees. Book early in spring and summer, when appointment calendars in the Philadelphia suburbs tend to fill fast.
