📖 About this office
The Central branch of the Fort Worth Public Library, at 500 West 3rd Street, doubles as a passport acceptance facility right downtown. Library staff review your DS-11, verify your citizenship and identity documents, witness your oath, and seal everything into the sealed packet the National Passport Center requires.
Applying at a library appeals to families and students who are already there for study rooms, story time, or research, and it keeps the whole errand in one calm, quiet setting rather than a busy postal lobby. Because this is a public library rather than a photo studio, passport photos are not taken here, so plan to bring a compliant photo with you.
It pairs naturally with the nearby downtown post office if you want to compare appointment openings between the two.
💡 Good to know
The library does not shoot passport photos, so bring a printed 2x2 photo that meets State Department rules. Confirm the acceptance desk's schedule before you go, since library hours differ from post office hours. More Fort Worth options are listed on the city passport page.
