All visitors are subject to a security check upon entering the courthouse. Masks and social distancing are highly recommended at all times while inside the District Clerk’s Office. If entry to the courthouse is denied, please call us to reschedule your appointment at (915) 546-2021 extension 3397.

If you or anyone in your household are experiencing any flu or cold-like symptoms, fever, or cough, please call us to reschedule your appointment.

The District Clerk’s Office serves as an acceptance agency for the US Department of State. Call our office to set up an appointment at (915) 546-2021 extension 3397 to obtain passport acceptance services. Walk-ins will not be accepted. Please be advised that the U. S. Department of State does not have a precise turnaround time. If you do not have a life-or-death emergency, you will experience significant delays before receiving your passport and the return of your citizenship documents such as previous passports, and birth and naturalization certificates. Once the application process is complete, the application, and your original documents CANNOT be returned to you.

You must arrive on time to your appointment. We are located at 500 E. San Antonio, Suite 103, El Paso, Texas 79901 (1st floor of county courthouse). Only the applicant(s) (and parents, if applicable) will be allowed inside the courthouse/office. If you are more than 10 minutes late, your appointment will be forfeited and you will need to reschedule.

We are committed to protect you and our county employees and it is our goal to expedite the passport acceptance process as quickly as possible; therefore, applicants will not be allowed to complete form(s) inside the courthouse nor the District Clerk’s Office. It is imperative that all forms are completed before entering. DO NOT sign the passport application as the passport acceptance agent is required to witness the applicant’s signature.

Appointments will need to be rescheduled if any documentation is missing.

The following are required:
