📖 About this office
The Onondaga County Clerk's office in downtown Syracuse is the county's flagship passport counter and a dependable choice for Liverpool residents when local slots are scarce. Located inside the courthouse complex at 401 Montgomery Street, it accepts new applications and minor passports and, unusually for the area, handles many routine applications as walk-ins during business hours.
This office earned a spot on this page because the Liverpool Public Library stopped processing passports in 2025 and now points residents here. The clerk's staff verify documents, seal the application, and take passport photos on site, and they have added Wednesday evening appointments to help people who can't get downtown during the workday.
It is a short drive from the village, so if the counters closer to home are booked, this is the reliable fallback listed on the Liverpool passport overview.
💡 Good to know
The office sits in Room 200 of the county courthouse; allow time for downtown parking. Basic applications are typically accepted without an appointment during weekday hours, but calling ahead is smart before an evening visit. For a closer option, the Liverpool Post Office handles acceptance by appointment.
