A passport acceptance facility is set to open at the Collin County Courthouse in McKinney on Nov. 4, according to a news release from the county’s District Clerk’s office.
What you need to know
The office will be located next to the District Clerk’s existing counter windows on the first floor of the courthouse.
The passport acceptance facility will initially operate by appointment only, with bookings available online. Plans are underway to introduce same-day, walk up services to “better serve the rapidly growing population of Collin County,” the release states.
How we got here
Collin County’s passport offices in McKinney and Plano were closed in 2019 following an investigation into fraudulent passport documents conducted by the Dallas Passport Agency and U.S. Department of State.
After being appointed in 2023, Collin County District Clerk Mike Gould worked with local and federal officials to restore passport services in the county, according to the release. The county received approval to operate a passport office again in February.
In preparation for the reopening, the District Clerk’s office has “implemented new procedures and auditing measures to ensure the highest level of accountability and customer service,” the release states.
