📖 About this office
The Watauga County Tax Administration office on Queen Street, a short walk from the county courthouse in downtown Boone, doubles as a public passport acceptance agent for local residents. Staff there review your identification, watch you sign the DS-11, and seal the application before it is mailed for processing.
This county-run option is popular with residents who work or run errands downtown and prefer a government office to the busier post office on Blowing Rock Road. Call ahead to confirm the days and times passport clerks are available, since acceptance is usually offered during regular county business hours rather than on a walk-in basis. It is one of three acceptance points profiled on the Boone passport page.
💡 Good to know
Passport service at a county office is typically offered during standard weekday business hours, but staffing can vary, so a quick phone call before you go saves a wasted trip. Metered parking is available nearby around the courthouse block. For statewide guidance and other North Carolina cities, see the North Carolina passport overview.
