📖 About this office
The Nueces County Clerk operates from the courthouse at 901 Leopard Street in downtown Corpus Christi and offers passport acceptance as a government alternative to the post office. For applicants who would rather handle their paperwork alongside vital records at the county level, this second-floor office is a solid choice.
The clerk's staff accept Form DS-11 applications for first-time passports and for children who must apply in person. One thing to plan for: this office does not take passport photos, so bring a compliant photo made in advance from a pharmacy, shipping store, or one of the USPS branches in town. Applications are handled by appointment.
Because the courthouse also issues certified birth and marriage records, it can be a one-stop trip if you still need proof of citizenship. See how it compares with the USPS counters on the Corpus Christi passport page, or explore other towns in the Texas directory.
💡 Good to know
This counter does not offer photos, so arrive with a 2x2 passport photo already made. Bring your unsigned DS-11, proof of citizenship, and a valid ID with a photocopy, and keep the two fees separate. If you would rather have your photo taken during the visit, a USPS branch may suit you better — compare them on the Corpus Christi overview.
