📖 About this office
The Van Buren Town Clerk's office, at 7575 Van Buren Road on the southern side of Baldwinsville, is the municipal counter for the town that contains much of the village. Alongside tax collection and local licensing, the clerk is a designated passport acceptance agent, reviewing and forwarding first-time and child applications to the U.S. Department of State. It is a calmer, town-hall setting than a busy post office, which many applicants prefer for a careful document check.
Applications are processed by appointment, Monday through Friday, and staff ask that you complete your DS-11 in advance rather than filling it out at the counter. The office does not take passport photos, so arrive with a compliant photo already in hand; the downtown Baldwinsville Post Office is the easiest place nearby to get one. Every acceptance point in New York follows the same federal fees and ID rules.
💡 Good to know
Bring an unsigned application, proof of U.S. citizenship, a photo ID with a photocopy, and a compliant passport photo, since none is taken here. Payments are split: a check or money order to the U.S. Department of State plus the acceptance fee to the town. If you also need a photo taken, pair this visit with a stop at another Baldwinsville office.
