📖 About this office

Housed in the Ross County Clerk of Courts Title Department on Western Avenue, this office folds passport acceptance into the county's vehicle-title and records operations, so you'll deal with clerks who witness signatures and certify documents all day. It's a practical stop for a first adult passport, a child's book, or replacing one that was lost or damaged, and staff can take your passport photo while you're there.

Because it's a county office, the Title Department publishes steady weekday hours plus a Saturday morning window, which gives Ross County residents a government alternative to the downtown post office. Remember to bring proof of citizenship and photo ID, and don't sign the DS-11 in advance. Fees and the State Department's current turnaround are covered on the statewide Ohio passport page.

💡 Good to know

The Title Department is on the west side of Chillicothe with its own parking, so it's an easy in-and-out compared with hunting for a downtown space. Saturday hours can be trimmed on holiday weekends, so call ahead if you're planning a weekend visit. Prefer the city center? The Walnut Street post office is the other local choice.
