Passport Acceptance Offices in Accokeek, Maryland

Accokeek sits at the southern edge of Prince George's County, Maryland, a quiet riverside community just across the Potomac from Virginia and a short drive south of Washington, DC. For most residents, the practical starting point for a first passport, a child's passport, or a lost-book replacement is the local Accokeek passport acceptance office at the neighborhood post office on Livingston Road, which processes applications by appointment.

If the Accokeek slots are full, the Clerk of the Circuit Court in Upper Marlboro is a reliable county option about 25 minutes northeast, accepting new applications on set weekdays by appointment. Both are acceptance facilities: they witness your signature and forward your paperwork to the State Department, so plan for standard processing timelines rather than same-day booklets.

Anyone facing urgent international travel inside two weeks should look past the county entirely and book the Washington Passport Agency in the District, roughly 20 miles north. Our Maryland passport page runs the statewide guide, covering fees, the documents to bring and current turnaround times.

Because these are acceptance offices and not passport agencies, everyone applying in person must appear together, including children, and appointments book up around spring and summer travel season. Call ahead to confirm your slot and to ask whether passport photos are taken on site, since not every counter offers them. The Maryland passport page spells out every requirement.
