Atlanta, Georgia document errands: printing, fax, notary, passports and certified copies (2026)

Where to print, notarize, apply for a passport and get certified copies in Atlanta, Georgia, using only official and provider pages. Each fact links to its source. Some facts are statewide or national rather than local. We label those.

Not affiliated, not legal advice. Errand Desk isn't affiliated with the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, DeKalb County, the Fulton County Clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts, the Fulton County and DeKalb County Probate Courts, the Fulton County Board of Health, the Fulton County Library System, the Georgia Department of Public Health, the Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority, the State of Georgia, Georgia State University, USPS, The UPS Store or the U.S. Department of State. This is general information, not legal advice. Prices and hours change; check the linked source before you go.
Short version: the Fulton County Library System charges $0.10 a page for black-and-white copies and prints, and doesn't offer fax or scanning [1]. The Fulton County Board of Health sells birth and death certificates for $25, with $5 for extra copies [2]. A Fulton County marriage license is $68.50, or $28.50 with a premarital education certificate [3]. The Fulton County Clerk takes passport applications for a $35 fee, and no longer accepts cards for it [4].
Two counties: the Census places Atlanta city in both Fulton County and DeKalb County [5]. Most offices on this page are Fulton County offices in downtown Atlanta. Georgia lets residents get a marriage license in any county [6], and the state says any county vital records office offers same-day service [7], so DeKalb residents can use them too. We list the DeKalb offices where we found them.
