📖 About this office
The Albany County Clerk operates a passport acceptance counter at 32 Russell Road, a short hop from the Stuyvesant Plaza corridor rather than the historic Eagle Street courthouse block. As the county's official records office, the Clerk is well practiced at reviewing supporting documents, verifying identity, and executing passport applications for county residents.
Choosing the Clerk over a post office can be handy when you already need certified county records or want a government office rather than a retail counter. It is one of the non-USPS options among the passport offices in Albany.
💡 Good to know
The Clerk's passport service runs by appointment during regular weekday hours, so call ahead to reserve time and confirm which forms of payment are accepted, since government offices often differ from post offices on cash-versus-card. Bring your completed but unsigned DS-11, original citizenship evidence, and a photo ID with a photocopy. Residents comparing counties across the state can start with our New York overview.
