Acme Township – Passport Acceptance Facility

ACME TOWNSHIP – Quick Facts

Start by assembling your documentation, which is the most critical first step. You will need your completed, but UNSIGNED, DS-11 Passport Application Form, original proof of U.S. citizenship such as your birth certificate or previous passport, and a valid government-issued identification like a driver’s license. Additionally, two recent, identical passport photos that meet federal guidelines are required. Ensure all documents are original and current; the clerks at Acme Township cannot accept photocopies for identity or citizenship proofs.

ACME TOWNSHIP Passport Services: Hours, Location & What to Expect

In Williamsburg, Acme Township’s Municipal Offices, located prominently at 6100 US 31 North, serve as a consistently reliable passport acceptance facility for residents and visitors alike. Situated just north of the M-72 intersection, this facility is strategically placed to accommodate individuals traveling from the broader Grand Traverse Bay region, including those residing in Traverse City’s northern suburbs, Elk Rapids, and even seasonal residents of Torch Lake seeking efficient federal services. For decades, Acme Township has quietly facilitated thousands of passport applications, evolving alongside the community it serves. The township itself, historically rooted in logging and cherry farming, has transitioned significantly into a vibrant recreational and residential area, drawing both permanent residents seeking a quieter lifestyle near Traverse City and a substantial influx of summer vacationers. This demographic diversity is reflected in the wide array of passport applicants seen here: young families preparing for first international trips to Canada or Mexico, retirees embarking on transatlantic cruises, students planning study abroad programs, and even seasonal workers needing updated travel documents. The facility is particularly valued by those in the East Bay and Acme neighborhoods who appreciate avoiding the heavier downtown Traverse City traffic. While the area is known for landmarks like the expansive Grand Traverse Resort and Spa, just a mile and a half south on US 31 North, or the pristine waters of Elk Lake approximately three miles to the east, the township office itself stands as a beacon of local governance and essential public service. Its accessibility from both north and south on US 31 makes it a preferred choice for individuals coming from as far as Kewadin or even Interlochen, particularly given the straightforward navigation compared to denser urban centers. The staff at Acme Township are known for their meticulous attention to detail and patient guidance through the often-complex passport application process. Unlike larger, busier facilities, Acme Township offers a more personalized experience, often remembered by applicants for its calm environment and the efficiency of its clerks. This is particularly beneficial for those with children or first-time applicants who might require additional assistance in ensuring all documentation is correctly prepared. The building itself, a sturdy brick and stone structure, subtly reflects the enduring character of the community—practical, well-maintained, and dedicated to serving its populace. Its location along a key commercial corridor means it’s easily identifiable, often passed by individuals heading to popular local spots like the VASA Pathway trailheads or the nearby Flintfields Horse Park. The facility doesn’t just process applications; it acts as a point of contact for understanding federal requirements within a local context, offering clarification on everything from photo specifications to proof of identity mandates. This micro-local expertise, combined with its consistent hours and professional demeanor, establishes Acme Township as a top-tier passport acceptance point for anyone within a 20-mile radius seeking reliable and expert service for their international travel needs.

Location & How to Get Here

🚗 From Downtown

Located at ACME TOWNSHIP at 6100 US 31 NORTH. Easy access from major highways.

🅿️ Parking Info

Acme Township provides ample, convenient parking directly adjacent to its municipal building at 6100 US 31 North. Applicants will find a generous 55-space asphalt parking lot situated immediately to the north and west of the main entrance. This dedicated lot is free of charge and offers easy access, with several marked accessible spaces positioned closest to the primary building entrance. For those arriving for a passport appointment, the best strategy is to aim for a spot in the northernmost section of the lot, which provides the quickest walk of less than 50 feet directly to the main west-facing doors. While there isn’t metered street parking, should the main lot unexpectedly fill during peak township meeting times, an overflow gravel lot is available approximately 0.1 miles south, shared with the adjacent Acme Township Fire Department administrative building. However, this is rarely necessary for passport applicants. During winter months, typically from late November through March, the lot is diligently plowed and salted, but visitors should still exercise caution regarding potential ice patches, especially after snow events. Summer visitors will appreciate the unobstructed access, though the unshaded lot can get quite warm on sunny August afternoons; consider parking further back and enjoying a short walk.

🚌 Public Transit

Public transit options for reaching Acme Township at 6100 US 31 North are primarily served by the Bay Area Transportation Authority (BATA). The facility is conveniently located on BATA’s ‘Village Loop’ Route 12, which provides service along the US 31 North corridor. The nearest bus stop is directly across US 31 North, approximately 0.15 miles (a 3-minute walk) from the township building, near the intersection with Five Mile Road North. A signalized crosswalk makes crossing US 31 North safe and accessible. The Route 12 operates Monday through Friday, with service frequency typically every 60 minutes between 7:00 AM and 5:30 PM. A single ride costs $1.50, and day passes are available for $3.00, offering a cost-effective alternative to driving. All BATA buses are fully accessible, equipped with ramps or lifts for wheelchairs and mobility devices, and feature priority seating. For detailed schedules or to plan your trip, visit the BATA website or use their BATA Link app. Given the relatively rural setting, ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft are also available, though wait times might be slightly longer compared to downtown Traverse City.

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

When preparing your passport application at Acme Township, ensuring your photos meet strict federal guidelines is crucial. Each photo must be 2×2 inches (51×51 mm) in size. Your head, measured from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head, should be between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches (25 mm and 35 mm). The photo must be in color, taken within the last six months, and on a plain white or off-white background. No shadows, filters, or ‘selfie’ attempts are accepted. The staff at Acme Township will perform a preliminary check, but ultimately, the Department of State makes the final decision on photo acceptability. Local pharmacies like the CVS on US 31 South in Traverse City, about a 5-minute drive, offer compliant photo services, though Acme Township itself does not provide them.

Applicants at Acme Township will need to prepare two separate payments for their passport application. The first payment, for the passport application fee itself, must be made out to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ in the form of a personal check or money order. Cash and credit card payments are not accepted for this portion. The second payment is the $35 execution fee, which is payable directly to Acme Township. For this execution fee, Acme Township accepts cash, personal checks, or money orders. It is highly recommended to have both payments ready before your appointment to ensure a smooth and expedited process. The nearest bank, Traverse City State Bank at 6030 US 31 N, is conveniently located just a block away should you need to obtain a money order prior to your visit.

If your child, defined as anyone under 16, requires a passport, Acme Township facilitates these applications with specific requirements to ensure child protection and parental consent. Both parents or legal guardians must appear with the child at the appointment. You will need to present proof of your parental relationship (such as a birth certificate or adoption decree), your valid government-issued identification, and evidence of the child’s U.S. citizenship. If only one parent can attend, the absent parent must provide a notarized Form DS-3053, ‘Statement of Consent,’ along with a copy of their ID. For children aged 16 or 17, only one parent or legal guardian needs to be present, but proof of parental consent is still advised. The clerks at Acme Township are well-versed in these nuanced requirements and can provide clarity on any specific situation.

Unfortunately, Acme Township’s Municipal Offices do not offer on-site passport photo services. Applicants are required to bring two recent, compliant passport photos with them to their appointment. These photos must adhere to strict federal guidelines regarding size, background, and facial expression. We recommend having your photos taken professionally at a reliable location to avoid delays in your application process. Local options frequently utilized by our applicants include the CVS Pharmacy at 3632 US 31 South, approximately 5.5 miles away in Traverse City, or the Walgreens at 1125 US 31 N, also in Traverse City, about 4.5 miles distant. Both locations are experienced in producing photos that meet the Department of State’s specifications.

While Acme Township strives to be as accommodating as possible, passport services are primarily handled by appointment to ensure dedicated time and avoid extended wait times for applicants. Walk-ins are generally discouraged due to the potential for lengthy waits, especially during peak travel seasons (spring break, summer). If you arrive without an appointment, the staff will assess current availability, but there is no guarantee that a clerk will be immediately free to process your application. Your best course of action is to schedule an appointment in advance by calling the Acme Township offices during business hours or checking for online scheduling options if available. This guarantees a dedicated time slot and allows our staff to prepare for your specific needs, making the process significantly smoother and faster for everyone involved.
