📖 About this office
The Office of the City Clerk sits inside the Virginia Beach Municipal Center at 2401 Courthouse Drive, Suite 2116, and it is the only city-government passport counter in this independent city. Because Virginia Beach is its own county-equivalent, the Clerk's staff handle a steady flow of first-time applicants who prefer a government office over a retail postal window.
Agents here process the DS-11 form for new adult books, children's passports, and lost or damaged replacements. Bring your completed-but-unsigned application, original citizenship proof, a photo ID, and a passport photo; the signature is witnessed at the counter. One quirk worth planning around: payment for the execution fee is by separate check or money order only, so leave the cash and cards at home.
The courthouse campus is a short drive from the oceanfront and sits near other Virginia Beach passport locations, so if the Clerk's calendar is full you have postal alternatives close by.
💡 Good to know
Appointments at the Clerk's office tend to book up roughly a month out, so call ahead and secure a slot before you drive to the courthouse. For applicants who cannot get an early date, one of the nearby post office acceptance windows may have sooner availability.
