📖 About this office
Washington County Assessment & Taxation runs a passport acceptance counter inside its office at 155 N First Ave, Suite 130, in downtown Hillsboro — the same building where residents handle property assessments, recording, and marriage licenses. It is a convenient civic one-stop for people already visiting the county seat.
A trained acceptance agent examines your DS-11, checks your birth certificate or naturalization papers, watches you sign, and forwards the sealed application to the U.S. State Department. One quirk to plan for: this office does not take debit or credit cards. The State Department fee must be paid by check or money order, while the county's separate acceptance fee can be paid by cash, check, or money order.
Appointments are recommended; call 503-846-8741 for scheduling or the recorded passport line at 503-846-3979. If your timing doesn't line up, the post office a couple blocks south is an easy fallback.
💡 Good to know
Come prepared with exact payment: bring a check or money order for the federal fee because plastic is not accepted here. Since the county also issues marriage licenses and records documents, you can bundle errands in one trip. Weighing both downtown options?
