📖 About this office
The Arvada City Clerk Passport Office at Ralston Road sits inside Arvada City Hall — a convenient municipal option for residents who prefer working with city staff rather than a post office counter. The building is centrally located in Old Town Arvada, just east of Wadsworth Boulevard, and serves applicants from across Jefferson County's northern tier.
The city clerk's office accepts passport applications Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Staff witness your signature, verify your documents, and seal your application packet before forwarding it to a regional processing center. Note that this office requires all application fees payable to the U.S. Department of State to be in the form of a check or money order — no cash or cards for the federal fee. The acceptance agent fee itself is paid separately at the clerk's window.
Because this location and the nearby USPS office on Allison Street are within a block of each other, many Arvada applicants choose whichever has the shorter wait. Either way, check the Arvada passport hub for side-by-side details before you head out, and review the full Colorado passport resource if you need expedited service at the state's dedicated agency in Centennial.
💡 Good to know
The City Clerk's office requires all U.S. Department of State fees to be paid by check or money order payable to "U.S. Department of State" — credit cards and cash are not accepted for this fee. Bring your original citizenship documents (birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a valid government-issued photo ID, and two identical passport photos. First-time applicants and minors must appear in person with a parent or legal guardian.
