You must have with you:
- Passport pictures (the Clerk's Office now takes passport pictures for $10 per person)
- Certified birth certificate with a seal
- Naturalization papers (if applicable)
- Picture identification such as a driver's license
- COMPLETED Application (Unsigned) If you have not completed your application, please allow yourself ample time to do so, so that you will be completed by 3:30 p.m.
It takes about four to six (4-6) weeks to get your passport, unless you choose to "expedite" the process, in which case you may receive your passport in two to three (2-3) weeks. A passport costs $135.00 for an adult, and $105.00 for a child under 16 years old. The fee to "expedite" your passport is an additional $60.00 each. Your passport will expire in ten (10 ) years for an adult, and five (5) years for a child. If you wish to obtain a passport for a child, you may want to call our office as there are special rules for obtaining a passport for a minor.

3. Register to vote:
You may register to vote at the Clerk's Office or any Secretary of State Office, or by mail. It is important to note that if you change your address on your driver's license you will be canceling your voter registration unless you change that also. The reverse is also true - if you change your voter registration you will receive a sticker in the mail to change your license. Your voter registration MUST match your residence. And, if you register to vote by mail you may not be eligible to vote by an absent voter ballot the first time you vote. Please contact the Clerk's Office for more information at 586-731-5102.
