📖 About this office
The Clerk of the Circuit Court for Prince George's County in Upper Marlboro is one of the county's official passport acceptance facilities, serving residents across the county — including those traveling from Riverdale, Landover, Laurel, and Bowie. Located inside the county courthouse at 14735 Main Street, the clerk's office processes DS-11 first-time passport applications for adults and minors on behalf of the U.S. Department of State.
The passport window operates on a limited schedule by appointment only, accepting applications Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Applicants should call 301-952-5264 to reserve a slot. The office charges a $35 acceptance fee (payable separately from the State Department fee), and staff verify original identity documents including birth certificates and photo IDs before forwarding completed applications.
For Prince George's County residents who need a court-based acceptance facility rather than a post office — or who are applying for a minor under 16 where both parents or guardians may need to appear — this courthouse location is a strong choice that offers a knowledgeable, government-staffed environment for passport application review.
💡 Good to know
Upper Marlboro is about 15 miles south of Riverdale — plan for a half-day trip, especially during morning court hours when parking near the courthouse can be limited.

Minors under 16 require both parents or legal guardians to appear in person unless a notarized DS-3053 consent form is provided.
