📖 About this office
The Westchester County Clerk's Office runs one of the busiest passport acceptance counters in the Lower Hudson Valley, tucked into Room 340 of the Richard J. Daronco Courthouse complex in downtown White Plains. It is a designated acceptance agent, which means staff here witness your signature, verify your identification and citizenship documents, and seal your DS-11 application before it heads to the State Department for processing.
This is the office many Westchester residents reach for when they want a government-run alternative to the post office, especially for first-time adult applicants and families applying together. The clerk's counter also sits alongside the county's other public-records services, so it is a natural stop if you are already downtown handling deeds, business filings, or court paperwork. As with every acceptance facility, the passport itself is printed by the State Department and mailed to you — nothing is issued on the spot.
💡 Good to know
Access is through the courthouse security entrance, so arrive a few minutes early and bring a photo ID. If this counter is booked, the nearby White Plains passport page lists the local post office as a second option, and you can compare other Westchester towns on our New York passport offices guide.
