📖 About this office

The Wayne County Clerk's Office operates at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center — the same civic tower that houses city and county government functions at the heart of downtown Detroit. Located on the second floor at Room 211, 2 Woodward Avenue, this office is one of the few county-government passport acceptance sites in the region, giving applicants an alternative to post office lines.

As a county clerk facility, this location accepts completed passport applications under the federal acceptance agent program, verifying identities and documents before forwarding packets to a State Department processing center. The office is particularly convenient for residents handling other county or court business at the Municipal Center and for those who prefer a government-office environment over a postal branch.

Wayne County Clerk passport services operate during standard government business hours, Monday through Friday. For a full picture of acceptance sites in the area, review the Detroit passport acceptance offices page.

Call ahead at (313) 224-6262 to confirm current passport hours and whether an appointment is required — county offices sometimes adjust walk-in schedules.
