People Also Ask About JOHNSON COUNTY CLERKS OFFICE

Local questions from FRANKLIN residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

The Johnson County Clerks Office in Franklin strongly recommends scheduling an appointment for passport services to ensure prompt assistance and minimize wait times. While walk-ins are accepted if staff and time permit, priority is given to scheduled appointments, so please call ahead to book your visit.

When applying at the Johnson County Clerks Office, you’ll make two separate payments: one to the U.S. Department of State for the passport itself (check or money order only) and a separate $35 acceptance fee to our Franklin office. The Johnson County Clerks Office accepts cash, check, or money order for the local acceptance fee, but cannot process credit card payments for the federal passport fee.

For passport applications at the Johnson County Clerks Office in Franklin, you *must* provide an original or certified copy of your birth certificate, not a hospital-issued souvenir. If you were born in Indiana, you can obtain a certified copy directly from the Johnson County Clerk’s Vital Records division right here in our office, making it convenient for your passport application.

Once your passport application is complete and accepted at the Johnson County Clerks Office, we typically mail out completed applications to the National Passport Center within one business day. However, this initial step is separate from the federal processing times, which currently range from several weeks for routine service, so plan your travel accordingly.

The Johnson County Clerks Office in Franklin accepts passport applications by appointment generally from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday, though the main office hours extend to 4:30 PM. To minimize potential waits, we strongly recommend scheduling an appointment and aiming for mid-morning to early afternoon slots, avoiding peak lunch hours or late afternoons.
