Local questions from BAY ST LOUIS residents about visiting the City Clerk for passport services

Please call our office at [Insert Phone Number, e.g., 228-467-5406] to schedule a time that works best for you and helps minimize your wait.

The Hancock County Chancery Clerk primarily follows the federal requirements for passport applications, so no specific local Bay St Louis documents are typically needed beyond standard federal forms. However, for minors, both parents generally need to be present with their IDs, or you’ll need additional documentation like a consent form if one parent isn’t available. Always double-check the State Department’s website for the most current federal requirements before your visit.

You will need two separate payments: one check or money order payable to the ‘U.S. Department of State’ for the passport application fee, and a separate payment of $35 (check, money order, or cash) for the execution fee, payable to the ‘Hancock County Chancery Clerk.’ We cannot accept credit or debit cards for either payment, so please come prepared with the correct payment methods.

Once your application is submitted and accepted at the Hancock County Chancery Clerk, we make every effort to mail it to the processing center within one to two business days. This brief local mailing time does not significantly impact the overall federal processing times, which are determined by the U.S. Department of State and vary based on the service you selected (routine or expedited).

Our passport acceptance services at the Hancock County Chancery Clerk are available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We recommend scheduling an appointment and aiming to arrive earlier in the day, ideally before 3:00 PM, as processing an application can take some time and we need to ensure all steps are completed before closing.
