📖 About this office
The Clay County Clerk of Court runs a passport acceptance desk at its Orange Park branch on Park Avenue, giving Clay County families a courthouse-based alternative to the post office window. As a designated acceptance facility, staff here review and witness first-time adult applications, children's passports, and cases where a book was lost, stolen, or badly damaged, then forward the sealed packet to the U.S. Department of State for printing.
Because this is a county office rather than a retail counter, visits run through the clerk's appointment system rather than a walk-up line, and the desk keeps regular courthouse hours on weekdays. It sits a short drive from downtown Orange Park, making it convenient for residents around Orange Park who would rather handle the paperwork alongside other county recording business.
One practical note: the clerk's office does not take passport photos on site, so plan to bring a compliant two-inch photo from a pharmacy or studio before your appointment. For a second nearby option that does offer photos, see the Florida post-office listings on our state page.
💡 Good to know
Bring an unsigned application, original proof of citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and a separate passport photo, since this desk does not shoot photos. Two payments are needed: a check to the U.S. Department of State plus the acceptance fee. If the courthouse desk is booked, the nearby Orange Park post-office option can be a faster alternative.
