Medina County Clerk of Courts - Auto Title Division

The Auto Title Division of the Medina County Clerk of Courts doubles as the county's designated passport acceptance agency, tucked into the office at 976 North Court Street just north of Medina's historic square. Alongside processing vehicle titles, its staff are certified to review and forward first-time passport applications for the U.S. Department of State, which makes it a familiar, government-run choice for residents who would rather handle the paperwork at a county desk than at the post office.

Because this is a title office rather than a photo studio, plan to bring a passport photo with you or pick one up nearby before your visit — the Auto Title counter accepts and verifies your documents but does not shoot photos on site. It handles new adult passport books and cards and child applications, where any traveler under 16 must appear in person with both parents or legal guardians.

This is one of two acceptance points profiled on our Medina passport office guide, so if the Court Street counter is busy you have a second local option only a few blocks away.

Call ahead at (330) 722-9253 to confirm current hours and whether a passport appointment is needed, as county title offices adjust their schedules seasonally. Completed DS-11 forms should be filled out in black ink but left unsigned until a clerk witnesses your signature. For a location that also takes photos, compare the nearby Medina Library option on our city page.
