📖 About this office
The City Secretary's office at Edinburg City Hall on West University Drive is a State Department–certified acceptance facility, so it handles first-time and child passport applications for anyone in the area, not just city residents. Staff review your Form DS-11, check your citizenship and identity documents, and seal the package for mailing. It's a handy choice if you live or work along the University Drive corridor rather than downtown near the courthouse.
Reserve a time online through the city's passport page, since applications are handled by appointment. One thing to plan for: unlike the courthouse and the post office, City Hall does not take photos on site, so bring two compliant 2x2 color photos with you — a nearby pharmacy on Closner can shoot them if needed. Our Texas passport guide sets out the citizenship documents and fee amounts to have ready before your visit.
💡 Good to know
Appointments are booked online and are required; there are no photo services at City Hall, so arrive with two 2x2 color photos already printed. Both parents (or a notarized DS-3053) must be involved for applicants under 16. If you'd rather get photos and application done in one stop, the District Clerk at the courthouse shoots photos on site.
