📖 About this office
The Maricopa County Clerk of Superior Court Northeast Regional Court Center, located at 18380 N. 40th St. in Suite 120, brings passport acceptance services to the north Phoenix and Paradise Valley corridor. Serving a fast-growing part of Maricopa County, this satellite courthouse is a practical alternative for applicants in zip codes like 85032, 85028, and 85050 who would otherwise face the commute into downtown Phoenix or the east-side post office on Van Buren.
As with all Maricopa County Clerk passport acceptance points, this site is staffed by trained court employees who review and certify your application package before it travels to the State Department. Appointments are booked through the county's online scheduling system and, as at other Maricopa County locations, cannot be made more than 60 days out. Both first-time adult applications (DS-11) and applications for children and minors are accepted here.
The Northeast Regional Court is flanked by several commercial centers along 40th Street, making it easy to handle other errands — including picking up passport photos at a nearby pharmacy — before or after your appointment. If you're researching every option in the area, the Phoenix passport acceptance guide lists all facilities in the city, and the Arizona passport office directory covers the full state.
💡 Good to know
The Northeast Regional Court Center shares the same appointment rules as the Downtown Customer Service Center: slots are limited, available Monday through Friday, and cannot be reserved more than 60 days ahead. Come with a complete packet — DS-11, proof of citizenship (original + photocopy), photo ID, passport photo, and separate payment for the State Department fee and the acceptance fee. The same Maricopa County Clerk phone line, (602) 372-5375, handles inquiries for all court-based passport sites.
