📖 About this office
The Clerk of District Court at the Mercer County courthouse in Stanton is a designated passport agent, meaning the office can accept passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. Located at 1021 Arthur Street, the courthouse handles the in-person acceptance step for first-time applicants, children, and people replacing a lost or damaged book. Because it runs on standard county business hours, it is a dependable alternative to the post office's narrower passport windows here in Stanton.
The clerk verifies your identity and citizenship documents, witnesses your DS-11 signature, and forwards the completed application for processing. Before your visit, the North Dakota passport guide covers the documents to gather along with current fees and timing.
💡 Good to know
The Clerk of Court's office keeps regular weekday business hours, which makes it easier to plan around than the post office's limited passport times. Passport photos are not taken here, so bring your own compliant photo. Calling before you drive over is smart in a small county seat like this; compare both Stanton acceptance options to pick the better fit.
