Fort Gratiot Township Passport Office

Fort Gratiot Township runs its own passport acceptance office out of the municipal building on Keewahdin Road, just north of Port Huron. For families living along the lakeshore in the Fort Gratiot and North Street area, it is often a shorter and quieter trip than heading downtown, and it gives St. Clair County residents a second official place to submit a first-time application.

As a township-run acceptance facility, the clerks here process the standard DS-11 form for new adult passports, children, and minors. They check your citizenship proof and identification, witness your signature, and mail the completed packet to the State Department. Photocopy and notary services are available at the same counter, which is handy if you're missing a copy of a supporting document.

Service is by appointment, and there are no weekend slots, so plan ahead during busy travel seasons. If the township's calendar is full, the nearby Port Huron Post Office handles the same applications, and you can also scan other acceptance offices across Michigan.

Call ahead to book, since appointments are limited and none are offered on Saturday or Sunday. Bring the original of your citizenship document plus a photocopy, and pay the State Department fee by check or money order. Because both parents or guardians must consent for a child under 16, arrange for both to attend or bring a completed consent form. This office is a useful alternative to the downtown branch listed on the Port Huron page.
