Most U.S. citizens entering the U.S. by land or sea ports are now required to have a passport, passport card or travel document approved by the Department of Homeland Security, according to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.

As a Passport Acceptance Agent, the Clinton Township Clerk’s Office can process applications for first-time travelers as well as those seeking to renew their current passports.

The necessary forms are available on the State Department website and can be filled in online and printed out, or printed out and completed by hand.

Although the clerk’s office does not take passport photos, this service is offered by stores such as CVS and Walgreens for a fee.

Standard processing fees apply but checks are the only acceptable form of payment in the clerk's office. As the clerk’s office does not offer expedited service, residents can expect to receive their passports in approximately four to six weeks.

The clerk's office is located within the Civic Center at 40700 Romeo Plank Rd., near Canal.
