📖 About this office
The Bradford County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller serves as the primary passport acceptance facility for residents of Starke and the surrounding communities of Bradford County. Situated on North Temple Avenue — the main corridor through downtown Starke — this courthouse office handles the full range of first-time passport application services, from witnessing your DS-11 signature to forwarding completed packages directly to a U.S. Department of State processing center.
Applicants can schedule an appointment with the clerk's passport division by calling the dedicated line at (904) 966-6230. The office is staffed Monday through Friday, making it the most accessible in-county option for adults and families preparing for international travel from the north-central Florida region. Bring two forms of ID, your citizenship evidence, and a recent passport photo — the clerk's office does not provide photos on-site, so plan ahead.
Because Bradford County is a smaller rural county, the passport division typically sees shorter wait times than urban acceptance facilities in Jacksonville or Gainesville. Residents applying for child or minor passports will find the courthouse setting convenient for gathering the required parental consent documentation in a single official visit.
💡 Good to know
Bradford County has only one in-county passport acceptance facility, so appointments fill quickly during peak spring and summer travel seasons — call (904) 966-6230 several weeks in advance. For urgent travel needs within 14 days, applicants must visit the Florida passport agency network page for information on the Miami Passport Agency (approximately 358 miles south).
