📖 About this office
The Leon County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller runs passport acceptance from its Northeast Branch on Metropolitan Boulevard, a quieter alternative to the downtown post office for capital-area residents. It is a federally designated acceptance facility, so the clerk's staff can verify your identity, witness your signature, and forward your file to the State Department.
Because this is a county government office, applicants who are already handling other clerk business - recording, court records, or comptroller services - often find it efficient to add a passport appointment here. It serves first-time adults, minors, and applicants who have lost a book, drawing from across Tallahassee and the surrounding Leon County communities.
Passport photos are available on site for a modest fee, and the branch's northeast location gives it easy parking away from the busier core of the city.
💡 Good to know
Only the Clerk's Northeast Branch at 1276 Metropolitan Blvd. handles passports - not the downtown courthouse - so head to Suite 101 on Metropolitan Boulevard. Bring your DS-11 unsigned, original proof of citizenship with a photocopy, and a valid photo ID. Call (850) 606-4060 first to check current wait times, and see the rest of the Tallahassee options if the branch is busy on your date.
