U.S. Passports, either in book or card format, are issued only to U.S. Citizens or non-citizen nationals. 

Each person must obtain his or her own passport book or passport card.  

The passport Card is a U.S Passport issued in card format.  Like the traditional passport book, it reflects the bearer’s origin, identity, and nationality and is subject to excising passport laws and regulations.  The U.S. Passport Card may only be used for re-entry into the United States at land borders and sea ports-of-entry when traveling from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda.  Passport cards may not be used for air travel.

To apply for a new passport you must personally come into the Gilchrist County Court House, 112 South Main Street, Trenton, Florida.  You will need a photo identification, preferably a valid drivers license or government identification card.  The clerk’s office also takes passport and concealed weapons photos.  Fees are as follows:
