Lucas County Clerk Of Courts Passport Services

If your child requires a passport, the process at the Lucas County Clerk Of Courts is slightly different. Both parents (or legal guardians) must be present when applying for a passport for a child under the age of 16. If one parent cannot be present, they must provide a notarized statement of consent. The Clerk of Courts will require a certified birth certificate to establish parental relationship. Given the facility’s location near Clay High School, many families come here specifically for this reason, finding it more convenient than traveling to downtown Toledo. Be sure to call ahead (419-213-4406) to confirm any specific document requirements.

At the Lucas County Clerk Of Courts, you have two options for processing your passport application: routine and expedited. Routine processing, currently taking approximately 7.2 weeks (as of November 2024), is the standard service. Expedited processing, which costs an additional $60, significantly reduces the wait time to around 2.5 weeks. Choosing expedited service also includes faster shipping upon completion. If you have imminent travel plans, particularly within the next month, the expedited option is highly recommended to avoid potential delays. Keep in mind these processing times are estimates, and can fluctuate based on national demand.

While the Lucas County Clerk Of Courts technically accepts walk-ins, it’s strongly advised to schedule an appointment. Walk-in availability is extremely limited and depends entirely on staff availability and appointment cancellations. If you attempt a walk-in, be prepared for a potentially long wait, possibly several hours, and there’s no guarantee you’ll be seen that day. Scheduling an appointment online or by calling 419-213-4406 ensures a dedicated time slot and minimizes your waiting time. Consider arriving 10-15 minutes early for your appointment to allow time for parking and check-in. The appointment system prioritizes efficiency and reduces overall congestion at the facility.

Passport costs vary depending on the type of passport you’re applying for and your age. For adults (age 16 and older), a new passport book costs $130 as an application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State, plus a $35 execution fee payable to the Lucas County Clerk of Courts. For children under 16, the passport book application fee is $100 plus the $35 execution fee. Passport cards, which are valid only for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean, cost $30 for adults and children, in addition to the $35 execution fee. Expedited processing incurs an additional $60 fee. Payment to the U.S. Department of State must be made by check or money order, while the $35 execution fee can be paid by cash, check, money order, or credit card.

Yes, the Lucas County Clerk Of Courts accepts credit cards for the $35 execution fee associated with your passport application. Specifically, they accept Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. However, it’s important to remember that the application fee payable to the U.S. Department of State ($130 for adult passport books, for example) must be paid separately via check or money order. To streamline the process, it’s a good idea to have both a check or money order for the application fee and your credit card ready for the execution fee.

Parking at the Lucas County Clerk Of Courts is relatively straightforward. A free, 32-space parking lot is available directly in front of the building, accessible from Navarre Avenue. During peak hours, particularly between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM on weekdays, the lot can fill up quickly. However, street parking is also available on Navarre Avenue itself, free of charge, though be mindful of the clearly marked ‘No Parking’ zones, especially near the intersections. For overflow parking, consider utilizing the public parking spots along Isaac Streets Drive, a block south of Navarre; these spots are typically available and within a 2-minute walk to the facility. During the summer months, be aware that the asphalt in the parking lot can get quite hot, so consider parking in shaded areas if available. In the winter, the parking lot is generally well-maintained, but be cautious of potential icy patches, especially during early morning appointments. Given the typically quick appointment duration (18-22 minutes), parking is generally not a significant concern. Arriving 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment should provide ample time to find a suitable parking spot.
