Applying for a passport in Athens, Georgia
Every listing above is an official passport acceptance facility in Athens — post offices, clerks of court, public libraries, and other government offices authorized to review your documents, witness your signature, and seal your DS-11 application packet for the U.S. Department of State. First-time applicants, minors under 16, and anyone replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged passport must apply in person at one of these Athens locations; most adult renewals can skip the visit entirely and apply by mail.
2 of the 3 facilities in Athens take compliant 2×2 inch passport photos on site, so you can apply and be photographed in a single trip. 2 locations accept walk-ins without an appointment, though published hours can differ from photo or acceptance counter hours. Always bring proof of U.S. citizenship, a photo ID, and payment for both the State Department fee and the facility's $35 execution fee.
If you are traveling within 14 days (or 28 for a foreign visa), an acceptance facility is not enough — you will need an appointment at a regional passport agency. Our Georgia page lists the nearest options, and each Athens listing links to directions, live hours, and the busiest and quietest times to visit.
