Apply for a Passport in Durham County, NC
Passport applications go to an acceptance facility designated by the U.S. Department of State, and the Clerk of Superior Court is not on that list. Here's where to go instead.
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.
Federal form — same in all states
