📖 About this office
The Davidson County Clerk's passport acceptance service operates from the county offices at 700 2nd Avenue South, on the southern edge of downtown Nashville near the river. Because Nashville and Davidson County share a consolidated Metropolitan government, this is the local government counter many residents reach for when they want a civic office rather than a postal branch to handle their application.
Clerk staff accept and witness first-time adult and minor passport applications, check your identity and proof of citizenship, and route the packet to the State Department. Service here is strictly by appointment — you must call ahead to book a slot, so walk-ins are not accepted. This makes it a good choice when you want a scheduled, unhurried visit at a government office.
Families applying for children often prefer the clerk because both parents can plan to attend together at a set time. See how it compares with the postal windows on our Nashville passport page.
💡 Good to know
As a county office, hours track government business days, so book early in the week if you can. Bring certified citizenship documents, a valid photo ID, and separate payment for the State Department fee and any clerk service charge. For applicants who prefer a postal window instead, the other Nashville acceptance sites stay open on Saturdays at some branches.
