📖 About this office

The Pierce County Auditor's Office, in Room 200 at 2401 South 35th Street, is the county's own government passport counter — an alternative to the post office run by the same office that handles elections, recording, and licensing for the region. It is a practical choice for South Tacoma residents and anyone who prefers a civic building to a busy postal lobby.

Like every acceptance facility, the Auditor accepts the DS-11 for new and minor passports, checks your documents, and forwards the sealed application to the State Department. One thing to plan for: this office takes payment by check or money order only, so bring the correct amounts written out before you arrive. You can compare it with other Tacoma acceptance counters to pick the best fit.

💡 Good to know

Payment here is by check or money order only — the Auditor does not take cash or cards for passport fees, and the State Department fee and the acceptance fee are usually paid separately. If a card is easier for you, a post office branch may suit better; see the full Washington passport guide.

By check or money order only. Bring separate payments for the State Department fee and the acceptance fee; cash and cards are not accepted for these.
