Clark County Clerk – 500 S Grand Central Passport Services

No, the Clark County Clerk’s office at 500 S Grand Central Parkway does not offer passport photo services directly on site. Applicants are responsible for arriving with two compliant passport photos at the time of their appointment. For your convenience, there are several nearby options where you can obtain suitable photos. The CVS Pharmacy at 285 E Bonneville Ave, just a few blocks east, provides passport photo services. Alternatively, the Walgreens at 2130 S Las Vegas Blvd, a short drive north, also offers this service. Many applicants also find photo booths located within the nearby Las Vegas North Premium Outlets, about 0.3 miles away, to be a quick solution, though it’s always wise to confirm they meet official U.S. passport photo specifications before your appointment to avoid delays.

Yes, absolutely. Appointments are critically necessary for all passport application services at the Clark County Clerk – 500 S Grand Central facility. Walk-ins for passport processing are generally not accepted, especially during regular business hours, as the schedule is typically fully booked weeks in advance. To secure your slot, you must schedule your appointment through the official Clark County Clerk website’s passport services portal. It is highly recommended to book your appointment at least two to three weeks in advance, and even further out if you anticipate applying during peak travel seasons like spring break or summer. Arriving without a confirmed appointment will likely result in being turned away, so planning ahead is key to a successful visit.

If you require your passport urgently, the Clark County Clerk – 500 S Grand Central facility can assist by processing your application with expedited service, but it’s important to understand that they are an acceptance facility, not an issuance agency. This means they will accept and forward your expedited application to the U.S. Department of State for faster processing, but they cannot print the passport on-site. For truly urgent travel — typically within 2-3 weeks — you would need to contact the National Passport Information Center directly to schedule an appointment at a regional passport agency, such as the one in Tucson, Arizona, which may require travel. The Clerk’s office will ensure your expedited application is correctly submitted, including the additional $60 federal expedited fee and potentially the $19.53 1-2 day delivery fee, but the actual passport printing and mailing timeline is handled by the federal government.

The total cost for a passport application at the Clark County Clerk – 500 S Grand Central facility involves two separate payments. The first payment is for the passport book itself, made directly to the ‘U.S. Department of State’. As of current guidelines, this is $130 for a first-time adult passport book (Form DS-11) or $190 if you also opt for the passport card. This payment must be made via check or money order only; cash or credit cards are not accepted for this portion. The second payment is a $35 execution fee, payable to the ‘Clark County Clerk’. This fee covers the service of reviewing and submitting your application. This $35 fee can typically be paid by cash, credit card, or a separate check. If you also need expedited processing, there’s an additional federal fee of $60, plus an optional $19.53 for 1-2 day return delivery, both payable to the U.S. Department of State.

Yes, for a minor applicant (under age 16), both parents are generally required to appear in person at the Clark County Clerk – 500 S Grand Central facility to apply. This is a crucial federal requirement to prevent international child abduction. Both parents must present valid government-issued identification and provide proof of parental relationship (such as the child’s birth certificate) and the child’s citizenship evidence. If only one parent can appear, the non-appearing parent must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053), along with a copy of the front and back of their government-issued identification. Without both parents present or the appropriate consent form, the application cannot be processed, so it’s essential to plan accordingly.
