📖 About this office

The Baltimore County Public Library's Towson Branch at 320 York Road doubles as a passport acceptance office, giving residents a library-based alternative to the post office counters. Trained staff process new applications by appointment and can take your passport photo during the same visit.

One thing to note: as a library acceptance site, the Towson Branch handles first-time and in-person applications but does not process by-mail renewals (Form DS-82). If you only need a photo for a mailed renewal, they can still help with that. To weigh it against nearby post office options, browse our Towson passport directory.

💡 Good to know

Because the library cannot accept mailed renewals, confirm you are filing a Form DS-11 (new application) before booking. Pair your visit with the branch's research resources if you need certified copies of documents. For post office alternatives with different hours, see the rest of our Towson listings.
