📖 About this office
The Marion County Clerk of Court runs its passport counter from Room 126 of the Clerk of Court Annex Building on North Pine Avenue, a short walk from the historic downtown Ocala square. Because it is a county government facility rather than a postal branch, it doubles as the place many local residents already visit for marriage licenses and court records, which makes bundling errands easy.
Staff here are designated acceptance agents for the U.S. Department of State, so they witness your signature, verify your identification, and forward a first-time DS-11 application on your behalf. Passport photos are taken on site, so you do not have to hunt for a separate photo shop before you arrive. This is a good pick for families in central Ocala and anyone already handling other county paperwork.
Appointments are recommended to keep waits short; when the schedule allows, walk-ins are seen until mid-afternoon after booked visits are cleared. If this counter is full, the other Ocala acceptance option and additional Florida passport locations can widen your choices.
💡 Good to know
Bring your original citizenship proof plus a photocopy, a valid photo ID, and separate checks for the State Department fee and the county acceptance fee. Minors must appear in person, and the county cannot process a renewal that qualifies to be mailed. See more choices on the Ocala overview page.
