Greenlee County Clerk Of Court Passport Services

Yes, parking is straightforward and readily available at the Greenlee County Clerk Of Court in Duncan. The facility benefits from a dedicated, free county parking lot directly behind the building, accessible from the alleyway off North Central Avenue. This lot offers approximately 25 spaces and rarely fills to capacity, even on busier days. Additionally, free street parking is generally abundant along 5th Street, immediately in front of the building, and on North Central Avenue within a block’s walk. There are no parking meters or time restrictions in this area of Duncan, allowing for a relaxed visit without worrying about your vehicle. During the hotter summer months, aiming for an early morning appointment might help you secure a shaded spot, though these are limited on 5th Street. Expect a very short walk, typically under 0.1 miles, from any parking spot to the entrance.

At the Greenlee County Clerk Of Court, scheduling an appointment for passport services is strongly recommended to ensure minimal wait times and dedicated assistance. While the office strives to accommodate walk-ins, particularly from residents traveling longer distances within Greenlee County, scheduled appointments are always given priority. This is especially true during peak travel planning seasons, such as late spring and early fall. To secure your preferred date and time, it’s best to call the Clerk of Court’s office directly during their regular business hours, typically Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Having an appointment ensures a smoother, more efficient process, allowing staff to prepare for your arrival and dedicate their full attention to your application, which typically takes between 18-22 minutes from start to finish.

If you require your passport urgently, the Greenlee County Clerk Of Court can accept expedited service applications. This means that for an additional government fee of $60, your application will be processed faster by the Department of State. While the Clerk of Court in Duncan processes and submits your application promptly, the actual expedited processing time, as of November 2024, averages 2.5 weeks, not including mailing times. It’s crucial to understand that the Clerk of Court cannot guarantee the State Department’s processing speed or directly influence it once your application has left their office. For truly immediate international travel needs (within 14 days), you would need to contact the National Passport Information Center directly and potentially schedule an appointment at a regional passport agency, typically in a larger city like Tucson or Phoenix, which are significant distances from Duncan.

To apply for a passport at the Greenlee County Clerk Of Court, you will need to bring several key documents. Crucially, you’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, which could be your original birth certificate (with a raised seal), a previous undamaged U.S. passport, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Naturalization/Citizenship. Additionally, you must provide a valid government-issued identification document, such as an Arizona driver’s license or state ID card, ensuring it is current and has your photo. You’ll also need a recent, color passport photo, taken within the last six months, meeting specific size and background requirements (2×2 inches, white background). Finally, bring two forms of payment: one check or money order payable to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ for the application fee, and a separate payment (cash, check, or money order) for the acceptance facility fee payable to the ‘Greenlee County Clerk Of Court’.

Yes, absolutely, appointments are required for all minor passport applications at the Greenlee County Clerk Of Court. Furthermore, specific rules apply for minors to ensure proper consent. For children under 16, both parents or legal guardians must be present with valid government-issued photo IDs and provide proof of their parental relationship (like a birth certificate listing both parents). The minor child must also be present. If one parent cannot appear, they must provide a notarized consent form (DS-3053) along with a copy of their ID. For minors aged 16 or 17, only one parent or legal guardian is required to appear with the minor, along with their ID, though it is highly recommended that both parents provide consent. Always confirm the most current requirements by contacting the Clerk of Court’s office directly before your visit.
