Local overview
Getting a passport in Corpus Christi
An urgent passport from Corpus Christi means a trip to the Houston Passport Agency, about 180 miles away, or Dallas, about 350; each accepts only travelers whose trip is less than 14 days away, or whose visa is needed within 28. A San Antonio agency is planned and will be closer once it opens. For a routine first passport, USPS lists one passport post office in the city, Dr. H.P. Garcia at 809 Nueces Bay Blvd, about a mile and a half from City Hall, and the Portland, Taft and Ingleside post offices hold passport appointments too. Birth certificates need care here. The Nueces County Clerk issues short-form certificates only, and the county says passports need the long form from the City of Corpus Christi's Vital Records office at City Hall, 1201 Leopard St. That office is open on weekdays from 8 AM to 4:45 PM and issues Corpus Christi births.
