Bingham County Clerk's Office

The Bingham County Clerk's Office on North Maple Street doubles as a U.S. passport acceptance facility for residents of the Blackfoot area. If you're already headed to the county courthouse campus for recording, elections, or other clerk business, you can handle your passport application in the same trip. The clerk's staff verify your identity and citizenship documents, witness your DS-11 signature, and forward the completed packet on to the State Department.

Applications here are by appointment, so call ahead to one of the clerk's passport lines before you visit. It's a good alternative if the Blackfoot post office can't fit you in on the day you need, though note you'll want your passport photos taken beforehand since the courthouse doesn't offer them. The statewide fees and the required-document checklist are laid out in full on our Idaho passport page.

Call the clerk's passport line to book an appointment during regular weekday office hours, and bring photos with you since they aren't taken on site. A certified birth certificate and a valid photo ID are the core documents. If you also need photos in one stop, the nearby Blackfoot post office may be more convenient.
