City of Issaquah

The City of Issaquah offers passport acceptance through its City Clerk's office at City Hall Northwest on 12th Avenue NW, a short hop from downtown and the Issaquah Community Center. For locals, applying at their own city hall is often the least stressful option and comes with the reassurance of dealing with municipal staff.

The clerk's team is authorized to review your documents, witness your signature, and forward your completed application. It handles first-time adult passports, children's passports, and replacements for lost or damaged books.

Applications are taken by appointment on select weekdays, and there is a couple of local quirks to note: the city charges its own processing fee on top of the federal charges, and payment for that city fee is by check or cash only, with no cards accepted. Compare it with the other Issaquah passport counters before you book.

Set aside a separate check or cash for the city's processing fee, since debit and credit cards are not accepted for that portion. Call ahead to lock in a Tuesday or Wednesday slot. Heading somewhere else in the region first? Browse acceptance sites across Washington.
