📖 About this office

The Princeton Municipal Office on Witherspoon Street handles first-time passport applications for residents of the Princeton area, giving locals a town-hall alternative to the counter at the post office. Staff review your DS-11 form, witness your signature, and forward the sealed package to the U.S. State Department, so the whole submission happens in one municipal building a short walk from the central business district.

Because Princeton sits in the heart of Mercer County passport country, this office is popular with families getting children ready for a first trip abroad and with university-affiliated households near Nassau Street. Confirm current appointment availability before you go, and bring your citizenship evidence and photo ID unsigned until an agent tells you to sign.

💡 Good to know

Every traveler on the application must appear in person, and a child under 16 needs both parents present or the correct consent paperwork. For other counters across the state, browse our New Jersey passport directory.
