📖 About this office
The Itasca County Recorder's Office handles new passport applications from a first-floor counter inside the county's administrative building at 123 NE 4th Street in downtown Grand Rapids. Recorder staff are the same people who manage deeds, birth records, and vital documents for the county, so witnessing a passport oath and sealing a DS-11 packet is a natural extension of their day-to-day work.
This is the office most Itasca County residents reach for when they need a first-time adult passport or a child's document processed. Because the Recorder does not print passport photos on site, plan to have your two-inch photo taken beforehand at a pharmacy or photo shop in town, then bring it along with your completed form and proof of citizenship. For a fuller picture of who applies where, see our Grand Rapids passport guide.
Fees are split between the State Department application charge and the county's execution fee, and the Recorder accepts checks or money orders for the federal portion. Renewals that qualify for Form DS-82 are mailed directly by the applicant and do not require a visit here.
💡 Good to know
Bring your own passport photo, since the counter does not take them. Weekday mornings are usually calmer than late afternoons before the 4:30 close. If your household has several applicants, the nearby Grand Rapids Area Library is a second local option worth comparing for scheduling.
