📖 About this office
The Travis County District Clerk runs one of the busiest county-operated passport programs in Central Texas, anchored in the government district along Guadalupe Street in downtown Austin. For residents who prefer a courthouse setting over a post office, the Clerk's team processes hundreds of applications every week.
The office accepts DS-11 applications for new adult passports and for minors, and it offers passport photos on site for a small fee. Because the county posts the bulk of its appointment slots at 8:00 a.m. each Monday for the week ahead, planning your visit around that window is the easiest way to secure a spot.
State Department fees must be paid by check or money order, while the county's own execution and photo fees can be paid by card. For alternatives, our Austin passport office overview and the Texas directory list other nearby acceptance facilities.
💡 Good to know
Bring a check or money order for the U.S. Department of State fees — the county cannot take a card for those. Every applicant listed on a form must attend in person, and children under 16 need both parents or the proper consent paperwork. If a courthouse appointment does not fit your week, the other Austin offices may have earlier openings.
