📖 About this office
Inside the Northampton County Courthouse on Washington Street, the Prothonotary's Office is an official passport acceptance agent for county residents and anyone in the wider Easton area. It reviews and accepts applications for first-time applicants, minors and adults whose passports are more than five years old or otherwise can't be renewed by mail. As the civil court records office, it's a familiar stop for locals already handling other courthouse business.
The office works by appointment and does not take passport photos, so bring a compliant photo with you or pair the trip with a visit to the nearby Easton Main Post Office, which does photos on site. Check the Pennsylvania passport guide in advance to pin down which documents and fees fit your particular case.
💡 Good to know
Call ahead to (610) 829-6457 to schedule; the office runs weekday appointments and is handicap accessible. Since photos aren't offered here, get yours beforehand — the downtown post office a few blocks away can take them. Keep your DS-11 unsigned until the acceptance agent asks you to sign.
