📖 About this office
Inside the Lehigh County Courthouse on West Hamilton Street, the Clerk of Judicial Records runs a passport acceptance window in Room 122, in the heart of downtown Allentown's government district. For residents who work near Center City or are already at the courthouse for other business, it folds a passport errand into a trip they were making anyway.
Deputy clerks here witness your signature and seal your DS-11 packet for standard submission to a regional passport facility. One thing to plan around: this office does not take passport photos, so have a compliant 2x2 photo in hand before your visit. The county runs its own online booking system for passport appointments, which keeps the courthouse line moving.
A county acceptance agent is a solid choice if you prefer a government-office setting over a retail post office window. If the courthouse schedule doesn't line up with yours, the Allentown office list shows the nearby USPS alternative, and the Pennsylvania directory covers acceptance points across the state.
💡 Good to know
Bring a printed 2x2 passport photo — this office cannot take one for you. Budget for the county's $35 acceptance agent fee in addition to the State Department fees you mail with the application. New applicants and minors must appear in person; the Allentown overview lists what to bring.
