Harrison County Clerk Passport Services

Passport photos must adhere to strict guidelines, and the Harrison County Clerk’s office in Corydon is diligent in ensuring compliance. The standard size is 2×2 inches (51×51 mm), with the applicant’s head positioned within a specific range – typically 1 inch to 1 3/8 inches (25 mm to 35 mm) from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head. Photos can be rejected if they don’t meet these specifications precisely. Walgreens, located just a few blocks away, at 2325 E Chestnut St, offers passport photo services. They are generally familiar with these requirements and can help ensure your photos are compliant. Be sure to specify that the photos are for a U.S. passport when you have them taken.

The Harrison County Clerk’s office itself does not offer passport photo services on-site. While they handle the passport application process, applicants must obtain their passport photos elsewhere before arriving. Several options are available in Corydon. As previously mentioned, Walgreens at 2325 E Chestnut St is a convenient option. Alternatively, some local photography studios in downtown Corydon might offer passport photo services; it’s best to call ahead to confirm. Ensure that whichever service you choose is aware of the strict U.S. passport photo requirements to avoid delays or rejection of your application.

When applying for a passport at the Harrison County Clerk, you’ll encounter two processing options: routine and expedited. Routine processing takes longer but costs less. Currently, routine processing takes approximately 7.2 weeks, as of November 2024. Expedited processing, as the name suggests, is faster, currently averaging 2.5 weeks, but involves an additional fee of $60. Which option you choose depends on your travel timeline. If your trip is several months away, routine processing is usually sufficient. However, if your travel date is approaching quickly, expedited processing might be necessary. It’s wise to check current processing times on the State Department’s website before making a decision, as these times can fluctuate.

After submitting your passport application at the Harrison County Clerk in Corydon, you can track its progress online. You’ll need to visit the U.S. Department of State’s website and use the online passport status system. You’ll need the application locator number, which can be found on your receipt. Keep in mind that it can take a few days for your application to appear in the system after it’s been submitted. The tracking system will provide updates on the status of your application, from processing to printing to mailing. If you don’t have internet access, you can call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 to inquire about your application status, but using the online system is generally the fastest and most efficient way to track your passport.

Yes, parking is available near the Harrison County Clerk, but it’s worth knowing the details beforehand. There’s a small free lot adjacent to the building, but it fills up quickly, especially during peak hours.

Parking near the Harrison County Clerk is relatively straightforward, though it can be busier during peak hours, particularly around lunchtime and court session times. There is a small, free parking lot directly adjacent to the building on the east side, offering approximately 15 spaces. These spaces fill up quickly, so arriving early is recommended, especially for morning appointments. Alternatively, street parking is available along Walnut Street and Capitol Avenue. Walnut Street offers metered parking at a rate of $0.50 per hour, enforced Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

In the winter, be cautious of potential ice on the sidewalks, particularly in the early morning.
