📖 About this office
The Athens-Clarke County Library on Baxter Street is the flagship branch of the Athens Regional Library System, and its reference desk doubles as a designated passport acceptance site. Trained staff process DS-11 applications for adults and minors, which makes the library a convenient stop for west-side residents and families already visiting for books or study space.
Appointments are required and are booked directly through the reference desk. If the library's slots are full, the Athens passport office list shows the other acceptance counters across the city.
💡 Good to know
Applications are accepted up to an hour before the library closes, so aim for a mid-day or early afternoon appointment to leave time for review. The library does not produce passport photos, so bring a compliant set — or use a counter that offers them, listed on the Georgia guide.
