Passport Services

Be advised, customers often arrive earlier than the processing times to be added to the queue.

We provide walk-in service only. We frequently have a large number of applicants, and it is sometimes necessary to close the waiting line before the end of passport hours.

You must apply in person using Form DS-11 if at least one of the following is true:

  • You are applying for your first U.S. passport

  • Your previous U.S. passport was lost, stolen, or damaged
  • Your U.S. passport was issued more than 15 years ago

The Gwinnett County Public Library does not process renewals for adult applicants (16+ at issuance) who are in possession of. currently valid U.S. Passport or one that has been expired for less than 5 years. If this applies to you, please go to www.travel.state.gov for more information on processing DS-82 Renewal Passports.
