Fulton County Superior Court South Passport Services

The Fulton County Superior Court South accepts credit cards for passport application fees, but there are limitations. Specifically, they accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. However, be aware that there is a small processing fee of $3.50 for credit card transactions. You can also pay by check or money order made payable to the U.S. Department of State. It’s worth noting that the separate $35 execution fee levied by the court itself can be paid via credit card without the surcharge. For residents of College Park who prefer using cash, the nearby CVS on Stonewall Tell Road offers money order services, though it’s a short 0.2-mile walk from the courthouse. Ultimately, planning your payment method ahead of time can save you delays during your appointment.

Yes, parking is available at the Fulton County Superior Court South. The courthouse provides a free parking lot directly in front of the building. There are approximately 110 spaces, including designated handicap spots near the entrance. While the lot is generally sufficient, it can get busy during peak court hours, particularly between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Arriving early for your appointment is advisable to secure a convenient spot. Overflow parking is available on the east side of the building, a short walk along a paved pathway. Unlike passport facilities in downtown Atlanta, there are no paid parking garages nearby. However, the free parking lot provides a significant advantage for residents of College Park and surrounding areas.

An appointment is strongly recommended for passport services at the Fulton County Superior Court South. While walk-ins might be accommodated depending on staff availability and daily workload, scheduling an appointment guarantees you will be seen and reduces your waiting time significantly.
