We just wanted to remind our community there are third party websites that are not the official US Passport government website. Often times these websites are fraudulent and charge additional fees that are unwarranted.

The Johnston County Register of Deeds is an acceptance facility and we are happy to schedule your appointment in our office and the fees incurred are simply for passport and our processing fee. Please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV for more information, forms and locations of acceptance facilities.

Contact our office if you have any questions, 919-209-8327.
