Apply for a Passport in Montgomery County, PA
Passport applications go to an acceptance facility designated by the U.S. Department of State, and the Register of Wills & Clerk of the Orphans' 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.

Federal form — apply in person at a passport acceptance facility. In Pennsylvania passport acceptance varies by county (some Prothonotary offices accept applications; Indiana County no longer does) — check with your county.
⚠️ This office does not process passport applications — a passport acceptance facility does. The office below is your county's Register of Wills & Clerk of the Orphans' Court — useful for other services.
