📖 About this office
The Okaloosa County Clerk of the Circuit Court Courthouse Annex Extension on Lewis Turner Boulevard is one of the most convenient spots along the Emerald Coast to submit a passport application. Situated in the heart of Fort Walton Beach, it draws applicants from across Okaloosa County who need an authorized acceptance agent for first-time or replacement passports.
Clerk staff are trained acceptance agents who review DS-11 applications, verify photo identification, witness your signature, and collect the completed packet on behalf of the State Department. Passport photos are available on-site for a modest fee, saving an extra errand. Free parking in the adjacent lot makes the visit straightforward, even when traveling with children for a minor application.
Because the annex handles a range of county services alongside passports, calling ahead to confirm appointment availability is recommended, especially during the busy spring and summer travel season. Appointments are generally available Monday through Friday during regular business hours.
