Coryell County District Clerk Office Passport Services

The cost of a passport at the Coryell County District Clerk Office is divided into application fees payable to the U.S. Department of State and a separate execution fee payable to the District Clerk. For a first-time adult passport, the application fee is $130, while the execution fee is $35. If you’re renewing an adult passport via mail (if eligible), you only pay the $130 application fee. For children under 16, the application fee is $100, plus the $35 execution fee. Payment to the U.S. Department of State can be made by check or money order, while the Coryell County District Clerk Office accepts cash, checks, and money orders. It is always advisable to confirm these fees directly with the office before your appointment.

If you require expedited passport service, the Coryell County District Clerk Office can assist with submitting your application with an expedited processing request. You’ll need to pay an additional $60 expedite fee to the U.S. Department of State. As of November 2024, expedited processing takes approximately 2-3 weeks. While the District Clerk’s office does not directly handle the expedited processing itself, they ensure your application is correctly submitted with the necessary expedite request. You can also consider contacting a regional passport agency directly if you have extremely urgent travel plans within 14 days; the nearest one is in Dallas, but this requires an appointment scheduled through the National Passport Information Center.

Yes, there is free parking available near the Coryell County District Clerk Office. You can usually find parking directly on Main Street in front of the building, but these spots can fill up quickly. A larger free parking lot is located behind the building and is accessible from 7th Street. If those options are full, try parking on the side streets like Leon Street or Saunders Street, which are just a short walk away. Arriving about 15-20 minutes before your appointment should give you enough time to find a convenient parking spot.

Passport photos must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. The photo should be in color, taken within the last six months, and show a clear image of your face with a neutral expression. You should be facing the camera directly, and the background should be plain white or off-white. Many local pharmacies, like the H-E-B Pharmacy on East Main Street, offer passport photo services if you need them taken professionally. The Coryell County District Clerk Office does not offer on-site photo services, so you’ll need to bring your own photos.

The Coryell County District Clerk Office processes passport applications, including renewals. However, not all renewals require an in-person appearance. If your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years, you were over the age of 16 when it was issued, and it’s undamaged, you may be eligible to renew by mail. The Coryell County District Clerk Office staff can help you determine if you’re eligible for mail-in renewal and provide the necessary forms. If you’re not eligible for mail-in renewal, you can submit your renewal application in person at the District Clerk’s office.
