Barstow City Clerk's Office

The Barstow City Clerk's Office at 220 E. Mountain View Street is a municipal passport acceptance facility operated by the City of Barstow. Located in City Hall, the Clerk's Office has maintained an active passport acceptance program and has recertified its agents through federal exams, making it a reliable alternative to the local post office for residents who prefer a city government setting.

This office accepts passport applications for new adult passports and child passports. Because it is a city government office, applicants may find shorter wait times compared to busy post offices during peak travel seasons. Staff can walk applicants through the DS-11 process and verify supporting documents, though passport photos are generally not taken here — applicants should arrange photos separately before their visit.

Located in the heart of downtown Barstow, this office is a short walk from the Main Post Office and easily accessible from the I-15 and Route 66. For context on all local acceptance options, the Barstow passport offices page covers what each location offers. Desert-bound travelers should plan ahead — the Los Angeles Passport Agency handles urgent same-week needs roughly two hours away.

Call ahead to confirm appointment availability before visiting — (760) 256-3531. The City Clerk's Office is located inside Barstow City Hall. Bring your DS-11 form (unsigned), proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid photo ID, and a money order or check for State Department fees.
