📖 About this office

The Cerro Gordo County Treasurer's Office, inside the county complex at 220 North Washington Avenue, is a designated passport acceptance facility that gives Mason City residents a government-office alternative to the post office. Agents here execute new applications, walk renewal applicants through their options, and answer questions about supporting documents.

Because it runs on regular weekday office hours rather than a booking-only window, this counter is convenient for anyone who wants to combine a passport errand with other county business. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and closes on county holidays.

Passport photos are taken on site for a modest fee, and payment is handled by check or money order. It pairs well with the appointment-based Mason City post office when you want a second option, and it serves travelers throughout north-central Iowa.

💡 Good to know

Bring your original citizenship document and a photocopy, and plan to pay by check or money order — two payments are needed, one to the State Department and one for the county acceptance fee. Photos cost about ten dollars each. If you prefer a scheduled slot with photo service, the Mason City Post Office is a short drive away.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Does the Cerro Gordo County Treasurer require an appointment for passports?
The treasurer's office accepts passport applications during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so a standing appointment window is not required — though calling ahead never hurts during busy seasons.
How do I pay for my passport at the county office?
Payment is by check or money order, and you will write two separate payments: one to the U.S. Department of State for the passport and one to Cerro Gordo County for the acceptance fee.
