Montgomery County Clerk

The Montgomery County Clerk's passport counter sits in the Veterans Plaza complex on Pageant Lane, in the heart of downtown Clarksville near the courthouse. As a county government acceptance agent, the clerk's office verifies your identity, reviews your DS-11 paperwork, and seals the application before it heads to the federal processing center.

This is a good pick for applicants who prefer a public-sector office with regular weekday hours and don't want to wait on a post-office appointment calendar. Staff here handle new adult passports and children's passports alongside the office's everyday vehicle-title and business-license work, so it's a familiar stop for many longtime Montgomery County residents.

Fees for new applications include the county's standard acceptance charge in addition to the State Department fees. If you're comparing counters, our Clarksville overview lays out how this downtown office differs from the Wilma Rudolph Boulevard post office.

Renewals by mail don't need to be sealed, so the acceptance fee applies only to new or replacement applications. Bring a certified birth certificate or naturalization document plus a valid photo ID, and note that every child must appear with the required parental consent. Planning a trip elsewhere in the state?
