How passport acceptance works in California

California has 496 passport acceptance facilities spread across 356 cities — a mix of U.S. post offices, county and circuit court clerks, public libraries, and municipal offices. Each one is authorized by the Department of State to accept new DS-11 applications in person: they verify your citizenship evidence and ID, witness your signature, collect the $35 execution fee, and forward the sealed packet for adjudication.

Pick your city below for every local listing with addresses, phone numbers, published counter hours, on-site passport photo availability, and walk-in versus appointment policies. If you need a passport urgently — travel within 14 days, or 28 days with a foreign visa — look for a regional passport agency appointment instead; routine acceptance facilities cannot issue same-day passports.
