📖 About this office
The Milwaukee County Clerk runs a passport acceptance desk inside the county courthouse complex at 901 N. Ninth Street, just west of the downtown core. It is a popular alternative to the post office because the clerk's staff handle passports as part of their daily civil-services work and offer photos on site.
New passport applications are processed Monday through Friday during business hours, by appointment, and every applicant named on a form — including children — must appear in person. The clerk accepts the DS-11 for first-time and minor applicants but does not process mail-in renewals, which you complete yourself. If a courthouse visit is easier than the nearby post offices in Milwaukee, this is a solid choice.
💡 Good to know
The clerk takes cash, money order, cashier's check, or credit/debit — but not personal checks, American Express, or Chase cards, so plan your payment. Courthouse security screening applies, so leave extra time at entry. You can weigh this option against other city offices on our Milwaukee passport page.
