📖 About this office
Braswell Memorial Library on North Grace Street offers a calmer, non-postal alternative for completing your passport application on the Nash-county side of Rocky Mount. Its trained staff verify your identity, witness your signature, and forward your paperwork to the State Department — the same in-person step required for every first-time, child, and replacement passport. It is a handy option when the post office schedule is full or you simply prefer a library setting.
The library is an interlocal government facility jointly run and funded by the City of Rocky Mount, Nash County, and Edgecombe County, so it remains an authorized acceptance office. Appointments are booked online through the library's own scheduling system. Arrive with an unsigned but completed DS-11, citizenship proof, ID and separate payments; our North Carolina passport guide covers the statewide fees and document details.
💡 Good to know
The library does not take passport photos, so bring a compliant 2x2 photo with you. Book each applicant a separate slot — if more than two people in your party are applying, reserve two adjacent times. Weekday appointments are usually easiest to find. If you need photos taken on the spot, the nearby Rocky Mount post office may be the better choice.
