📖 About this office
The Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court sits at 200 Derbigny Street in the heart of downtown Gretna, a few blocks from the parish courthouse complex and the West Bank riverfront. As a designated acceptance agent, the office witnesses your signature, seals your documents and forwards the application to the State Department. It is a practical, central choice for anyone on the West Bank of Jefferson Parish who wants to avoid crossing into New Orleans.
A useful advantage here is that the Clerk offers passport photos on site, so first-time applicants and families can finish the photo and the paperwork in a single visit. Executions run during weekday office hours; there is a separate acceptance fee payable to the Clerk in cash, card, check or money order.
If your departure is inside two weeks, this office cannot expedite for you — that requires the New Orleans agency covered on the Louisiana page.
