Apply for a Passport in Hidalgo County, TX
Passport applications go to an acceptance facility designated by the U.S. Department of State, and the County Clerk 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 U.S. Department of State's passport acceptance facility list, as published 26 September 2026. The list changes; the federal search is always current.
Federal form — apply in person at a passport acceptance facility (many County Clerk offices are acceptance agents).
