City of Heath - Auditor's Office

Run by the City of Heath out of its Auditor's Office at 1287 Hebron Road, this is Heath's own municipal passport acceptance facility — a convenient stop for residents who would rather handle their paperwork at city hall than at a busy post office window. City staff are designated acceptance agents for the U.S. Department of State, meaning they witness your signature, verify your identification, and seal your completed application before it heads off to a processing center.

The office handles first-time applications on Form DS-11, which covers adults applying for the first time and every child under 16. Eligible renewals that qualify for Form DS-82 can usually be mailed in without an in-person visit, so it is worth checking your eligibility before booking. Because the counter sits inside Heath's city government offices along the Hebron Road corridor, parking is straightforward and the setting is quieter than a downtown federal building.

This location is one of a handful of acceptance points serving Licking County; you can compare it with other Heath passport offices or browse the wider list of acceptance agents across Ohio before you choose where to apply.

Appointments are required — call (740) 522-1420 before you visit, and confirm which forms and supporting documents to bring. Every applicant under 16 must appear in person, ideally with both parents or legal guardians present. Passport photos are not always offered on site, so ask when you book, or plan to bring a compliant photo. If this office is fully booked, the nearby Newark Main Post Office is another acceptance point a few minutes east in the county seat.
