The Cobb County Public Library System announced this week that starting Sept. 6, citizens can obtain passports at two of its branches.
They include the Mountain View Regional Library (3320 Sandy Plains Road) in East Cobb and the West Cobb Regional Library (1750 Dennis Kemp Lane, Kennesaw).
They have been approved as Passport Acceptance Facilities by the U.S. State Department and library staff have been trained to process passport applications.
The library system said in a release earlier this week that passport services at those branches will be available via appointment only Monday—Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Thursday—Saturday from 12-3 p.m.
But the applications will be limited to first-time adult applicants, age 16 and older, and children under 16.
Renewals will not be processed at the libraries, and passport photo services will not be provided.
The costs are a passport application fee determined by the State Department and a $35 acceptance fee, each payable by check, money order or cashier’s check.
Starting Sept. 6 the library system will begin accepting appointments online or by calling the library branches directly.
