📖 About this office
The Collin County District Clerk's Office in downtown Plano is a full-service passport acceptance facility operated by Collin County government. Located in the Russell A. Steindam Courts Building at 900 E. Park Blvd., Suite 140-A, it accepts DS-11 applications for first-time passports and minor passports, with walk-in availability on weekday mornings — a rare convenience in North Texas that sets it apart from appointment-only USPS locations.
Because this is a county government office rather than a postal facility, the atmosphere tends to be quieter and the staff specifically trained in document review. Passport photos are available on-site. Both parents or legal guardians must accompany minors under 16, in accordance with federal requirements. The office serves residents from across Collin County, including those from Frisco, McKinney, and Allen who find it centrally located.
The Collin County District Clerk has been accepting passport applications for years and is particularly well regarded among Plano families completing child passport applications before international travel. Its courthouse setting also means notarial services are readily available if needed for supplemental forms.
💡 Good to know
Bring a completed DS-11 form (do not sign it in advance), original proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid photo ID, and a photocopy of each document. Fees are paid separately: a State Department fee by check or money order and an acceptance fee to the county.
