Navajo County Clerks Office Passport Services

After submitting your passport application at the Navajo County Clerk’s Office, you’ll receive a receipt with a tracking number, often referred to as your application locator number. This number, combined with your last name and date of birth, can be used to track the status of your application directly through the U.S. Department of State’s online passport status system at travel.state.gov. While the Holbrook office diligently processes and forwards your application, they do not retain real-time tracking capabilities once the documents leave their facility. It typically takes 7-10 business days for your application to appear in the State Department’s online system. If you have any immediate concerns or encounter issues with tracking, you can always contact the Navajo County Clerk’s office at their official phone number during business hours for initial guidance on the process, but the ultimate tracking responsibility lies with the federal agency.

For urgent travel needs, the Navajo County Clerk’s Office offers expedited processing options for passport applications. When you apply, you can request expedited service for an additional fee of $60, payable to the U.S. Department of State, which significantly shortens the federal processing time. It is highly recommended to also pay for 1-2 day delivery for the return of your passport book, an additional $19.53, to minimize any further delays. For extremely urgent situations, such as verifiable life-or-death emergencies or international travel within two weeks, you might need to contact a regional passport agency directly, such as the one in Tucson or San Diego, as these centers offer same-day service by appointment. While the Holbrook office will expedite the initial submission, they cannot guarantee the final federal processing timeline, so planning ahead is always the best approach for time-sensitive travel.

Yes, appointments are absolutely required for all minor passport applications at the Navajo County Clerk’s Office, and special requirements apply to ensure the child’s identity and parental consent. For applicants under 16, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the child, bringing their valid government-issued identification and the child’s birth certificate or previous passport. If one parent is unable to attend, 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, or the minor can apply alone if they have their own valid ID and proof of parental awareness. It’s advisable to call the Holbrook office ahead of time to confirm all specific documentation needed for minor applications, as these rules are strictly enforced to protect children.

When your child needs a passport, the Navajo County Clerk’s Office is fully equipped to assist. The process for minors under 16 is quite particular. You’ll need to bring the child, both parents (or legal guardians) with their valid government-issued photo IDs, and the child’s original birth certificate (or previous passport) as proof of U.S. citizenship. Additionally, a recent passport-quality photo of the child is necessary. If one parent is unavailable, a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) from the absent parent, along with a copy of their ID, is mandatory. For 16- and 17-year-olds, only one parent is typically required, or the minor can apply independently with parental consent (demonstrated by a note or parent’s presence). We highly recommend reviewing the State Department’s guidelines for minors at travel.state.gov or calling our Holbrook office directly to ensure you have every necessary document for a smooth application process.

No, the Navajo County Clerk’s Office in Holbrook does not currently offer on-site passport photo services. Applicants are required to bring two recent, identical, color passport-quality photographs that meet specific U.S. Department of State requirements. These photos must be 2×2 inches, taken against a plain white or off-white background, and free from shadows, glare, or filters. You can typically obtain compliant passport photos at local pharmacies like CVS Pharmacy on West Hopi Drive, or other photo centers in Holbrook. Ensuring your photos meet all specifications beforehand is crucial, as incorrect photos are a common reason for application delays. It’s always a good idea to double-check the State Department’s photo requirements online before your appointment to avoid any inconvenience.
