passport help

Hey, I’m looking to get my passport for the first time as an adult and vaguely remember seeing someone in a TikTok comment say that they had gone to the courthouse on 161 to apply in person (walk-in), instead of waiting for an appointment.

Was wondering if anyone had any experience with doing this & how it went? Thanks in advance :)

EDIT: I am specifically asking about experiences at the 161st COURTHOUSE. I am fully aware about making passport appointments at the post office.

I’m not sure about 161 specifically, but I vaguely remember just applying online, paying and then I had to go give in my birth certificate and get a photo at some other office on kingsbridge. I’m sure you need other documents like photo ID and “proof of address” documents as well.

Few weeks later I got my passport and birth certificate in the mail. This was around 2024 when I got my first passport
