📖 About this office
The Bridgewater Town Clerk's Office at Town Hall on Central Square is a municipal passport acceptance facility in the heart of downtown Bridgewater. Operating from the historic Town Hall building, the clerk's office is authorized by the U.S. Department of State to accept first-time passport applications and applications for minors, making it a convenient alternative to the post office for residents who prefer a government office setting.
Staff at the town clerk's office can review your documents, witness your signature on the DS-11 form, and forward your application to the State Department. Passport photos can be taken on site, saving applicants an extra stop. The Central Square location is walkable from many downtown Bridgewater destinations and has accessible parking nearby.
This office is a particularly good fit for families submitting child passport applications, as local government offices often have more flexibility in scheduling family appointments. Bridgewater residents can also explore the full list of Massachusetts passport acceptance offices if they need a location outside town.
💡 Good to know

Bring your unsigned DS-11 form, original citizenship documents, a valid photo ID, and applicable fees.
