Passport Applications Near Henderson County, KY
The Henderson County Clerk's office does not process passport applications. You'll need to visit a passport acceptance facility— a post office, library, court or other local government office designated by the U.S. Department of State. Which ones are designated changes, so find yours in the federal directory rather than from this page. Here's what applying costs and what to take with you.
Federal fees, the same everywhere (22 CFR 22.1): a $35 execution fee paid to the acceptance facility, and for an adult passport book a $50 application fee plus the $80 security surcharge paid to the U.S. Department of State. First-time applicants use form DS-11 and apply in person.
Source: the Department's facility data file (Facilities.json, last modified Sat, 26 Sep 2026 06:32:27 GMT, 7,478 facilities), read 2026-09-26. The list changes; the federal search is always current.
The application fee goes to the U.S. Department of State and the acceptance fee to the facility — two separate payments, and neither is refundable by law, even if no passport is issued. An adult book is therefore $165 all in and a card $65. Expedited processing adds $60 and 1–3 day return delivery adds $23.36. A child under 16 pays a lower application fee. Fees are set by the U.S. State Department and subject to change — verify at travel.state.gov.
