📖 About this office
The City of Berkeley City Clerk operates a municipal passport acceptance counter at 2180 Milvia Street, on the first floor near the Civic Center. As a local-government facility rather than a post office, it gives Berkeley residents a City Hall-adjacent option for submitting first-time DS-11 applications.
Because it sits within the same downtown civic block as the post office and other Berkeley offices, it is easy to reach by BART or bus. The Clerk's passport window keeps its own limited schedule and is separate from the department's general records and elections work.
Confirm current availability before you visit, since municipal passport hours can differ from regular counter hours and the office observes periodic closures.
💡 Good to know
Call the Clerk's office before visiting to confirm the current passport window and whether an appointment is required, as municipal schedules change. Bring an unsigned DS-11, proof of U.S. citizenship, and a photo ID. If timing is tight, the nearby USPS and campus offices in Berkeley may have more openings.
