By authority of the President of the United States, the Secretary of State has designated various categories of persons who are authorized to accept a passport application. One of those categories is the Clerk of the State Court of Record. Pursuant to that authority, in 1995 the Clerk of Courts for Clermont County began accepting passport applications as a public service.

The information listed is intended to answer only the most frequently asked questions. Passport applications and other related forms are available in the Clerk of Courts offices or through the U. S. Department of State. For additional information or assistance in obtaining your passport, please contact one of our convenient offices.
