📖 About this office
The Huntington Beach City Clerk's Office, located inside City Hall on the second floor of 2000 Main Street, is an authorized U.S. Department of State passport acceptance facility. Unlike the post office branches, appointments here are managed through the city's own QLess scheduling kiosk system, giving applicants an alternative channel when USPS slots are booked. The Civic Center location is convenient to the downtown core and the Main Street pedestrian district.
The City Clerk accepts applications for new passports, minor passports, and replacements for lost, stolen, or damaged documents. Staff are well-acquainted with the DS-11 requirements, including the parental consent rules that apply when both parents cannot appear together for a minor's application. Appointments run Monday through Thursday, and the office can be reached at (714) 536-5227 for scheduling questions.

💡 Good to know
The City Clerk's Office is the only municipal (non-USPS) acceptance site in Huntington Beach, which makes it a good alternative when post office slots fill up during peak travel season. Note that it is closed Fridays, so plan accordingly. Applicants who need to travel urgently — within 14 calendar days — should call the Los Angeles Passport Agency at 11000 Wilshire Blvd for an expedited in-person appointment, as acceptance offices including this one cannot speed up processing on-site.
