📖 About this office
The City of Kentwood Clerk's Office, at 4900 Breton Avenue SE on the southeast side of the Grand Rapids metro, is a designated passport acceptance facility that many Rockford-area applicants use when the local post office is booked. Unlike appointment-only USPS counters, the clerk here accepts applications on a walk-in basis during posted passport hours, which is handy if your schedule is unpredictable.
Acceptance agents at the clerk's counter review completed applications, verify identity, witness the signature, and send everything to the State Department. They handle first-time books and cards, minor applications where every applicant must be present, and in-person renewals; straightforward renewals that qualify for Form DS-82 should still be mailed instead.
Kentwood is a reasonable drive south from Rockford through the Grand Rapids area. Weigh the trip against a closer appointment on our Rockford passport page, or scan additional acceptance sites via the Michigan passport directory.
💡 Good to know
Payment is by check or money order only — no cash or credit cards — and you will typically need two separate checks, one for the State Department and one for the acceptance fee. Bring your original certified birth certificate with a raised seal. If a Rockford-side option is more convenient, review the choices on the Rockford overview before you drive down.
