GLOUCESTER COUNTY STORE Passport Services: Hours, Location & What to Expect

Gloucester County Store, located at 1750 DEPTFORD CENTER ROAD, stands as a pivotal resource for residents of Deptford and the surrounding communities seeking essential government services, including passport application acceptance. This facility is strategically positioned within the bustling Deptford Mall complex, just off the intersection of Deptford Center Road and Almonesson Road, offering unparalleled accessibility from major thoroughfares like Route 42 (North-South Freeway) via Exits 12 and 13. Its central location makes it particularly convenient for individuals travelling from nearby neighborhoods such as Almonesson and Hurffville, as well as farther-reaching areas including Glassboro, Wenonah, Washington Township, and Woodbury Heights. The convenience of its setting allows applicants to seamlessly integrate their passport processing into a day of errands or shopping.

This county store facility serves a diverse demographic, ranging from young families navigating the process of securing first-time passports for their children, often a requirement for international travel or family visits abroad, to seasoned business professionals needing expedited renewals for unexpected overseas assignments. Students enrolled at Rowan University, located a short drive away in Glassboro, frequently utilize this site for study abroad passport applications, appreciating the detailed guidance provided. Additionally, new citizens establishing roots in South Jersey, and retirees residing in tranquil communities like the Stonegate development, find the Gloucester County Store an accessible and helpful point of contact for their documentation needs. The design philosophy behind the Gloucester County Store emphasizes community-centric service, bringing critical government functions directly to where people live and shop, rather than requiring a journey to the county seat in Woodbury for every interaction.

A key unique aspect of this facility is its integrated service model. Beyond its vital role in passport acceptance, the Gloucester County Store functions as a comprehensive county satellite office. Residents can handle various county-level transactions under one roof, including vehicle registration renewals, procurement of county park passes for Gloucester County’s extensive park system, payment of property taxes for certain municipalities within the county, and accessing a wealth of general county information and resources. This multi-service approach significantly enhances convenience, allowing citizens to consolidate multiple governmental tasks into a single visit, reducing travel time and administrative burden. This model reflects a forward-thinking approach to local governance, prioritizing efficiency and resident satisfaction.

The building itself, while functional and modern, carries local historical context within the evolving landscape of Deptford Township. Developed as part of the broader expansion of the Deptford Mall complex in the late 1970s and 1980s, the county store concept itself gained prominence in the 1990s. Its establishment here marked a deliberate strategic move by Gloucester County to decentralize administrative services. Prior to this, many essential interactions required a trip to the historic county courthouse in Woodbury, which, while architecturally significant, presented practical challenges for many suburban residents. The Deptford County Store, since its inception, has been a cornerstone of this initiative, symbolizing a modern approach to governmental accessibility and efficiency. It adapted county services to meet the demands of a growing, car-dependent suburban population, mirroring the shift in retail and public services towards easily accessible commercial centers.

Several prominent landmarks and businesses are situated within close proximity, reinforcing the facility’s convenience. The Deptford Mall itself is directly adjacent, with many entrances and anchor stores like Macy’s and JCPenney just a short walk across the shared parking lot. For entertainment, Regal Cinemas Deptford is less than 0.2 miles away within the same complex. While not within five blocks, the Gloucester County Library System (Deptford Branch) on Hurffville Road, approximately 0.8 miles away, is a frequently visited community hub that many passport applicants may combine with their visit. A popular Olive Garden Italian Restaurant is also less than a quarter-mile south on Deptford Center Road, offering a nearby dining option. The proximity to these well-known local establishments makes navigating to the Gloucester County Store straightforward for even first-time visitors to the area, firmly establishing it as a highly accessible and integral part of the Deptford community fabric.

Location & How to Get Here

🚗 From Downtown

Located at GLOUCESTER COUNTY STORE at 1750 DEPTFORD CENTER ROAD. Easy access from major highways.

🅿️ Parking Info

The Gloucester County Store provides extensive and convenient parking solutions directly at its 1750 Deptford Center Road location. Applicants benefit from a substantial, free, shared parking lot immediately adjacent to the facility’s primary entrance. This expansive lot, easily accessible from both Deptford Center Road and Almonesson Road, typically offers upwards of 150 available spaces, even during peak operational hours, making finding a spot generally stress-free. For those attending passport appointments, the most strategic approach is to park in the section of the lot directly facing the building’s east entrance. This minimizes walking distance, which is particularly advantageous during Deptford’s hot and humid summer months or when winter brings icy conditions. In the rare instance of the immediate lot being unexpectedly full, ample overflow parking is readily available within the wider Deptford Mall complex, just a short 0.1 to 0.3-mile walk. For example, the large parking section near the Macy’s store entrance provides numerous additional spots and is well-lit. There is no metered street parking along Deptford Center Road or Almonesson Road in this commercial district; all parking is within designated lots. While the area is generally safe, securing valuables and locking your vehicle is always advised. During periods of heightened activity, such as the busy holiday shopping season from late November through December, it is prudent to arrive 15-20 minutes earlier than your scheduled appointment. This buffer allows extra time to navigate increased traffic and locate your preferred parking spot, ensuring a calm start to your passport application process.

🚌 Public Transit

The Gloucester County Store on Deptford Center Road offers reasonable access via NJ Transit bus services for those preferring public transportation, though direct curbside stops are not available immediately at the facility. The most practical route is NJ Transit Bus Route #400, which operates between Sicklerville and Philadelphia. This bus route has several convenient stops along Clements Bridge Road, the closest being at the intersection of Clements Bridge Road and Deptford Center Road. From this stop, the Gloucester County Store is approximately a 0.6-mile walk, which typically takes between 12-15 minutes, depending on pace. To reach the facility, walk north on Deptford Center Road, passing the Olive Garden restaurant, until you see the county store on your right within the mall complex. Bus Route #408, connecting Millville to Philadelphia, also services the general Deptford area with stops along Clements Bridge Road, but these are typically slightly further, extending the walking distance. Route #400 generally provides service every 30-45 minutes during weekday peak hours and hourly during off-peak and weekend periods, so planning your departure with the current schedule is advisable. A single ride costs $1.60 within the local zone, while a one-day local pass is available for $3.20, payable with exact cash or through the official NJ Transit Mobile App. All NJ Transit buses are equipped with wheelchair ramps or lifts, ensuring full accessibility. However, navigating the sidewalks around the extensive mall property for extended distances might be challenging for individuals with mobility impairments, particularly during adverse weather. In such cases, considering a ride-share service from the bus stop could enhance convenience.

What to Expect at GLOUCESTER COUNTY STORE

The process at Gloucester County Store for passport services is designed for clarity and efficiency, ensuring a professional experience for all applicants. The facility, distinguishable by its modern brick facade accented with large, tinted glass panels, conveys a contemporary civic aesthetic. This single-story structure is part of a larger administrative campus, integrating smoothly into the surrounding commercial environment. The primary entrance dedicated to passport services is clearly marked on the east side of the building, directly facing the expansive main parking area shared with the Deptford Mall. Upon passing through the double glass doors, visitors are immediately greeted by a bright, open lobby that minimizes any sense of confusion or institutional austerity.

To check in for your appointment, proceed to the dedicated reception desk for passport applications, conveniently located immediately to your left upon entry, identifiable by clear overhead signage. After a brief verification of your appointment, applicants are typically directed to a specific service point, often Window #2 or Window #3, both clearly designated for “Passport Services.” The typical appointment duration for a first-time adult or minor application is remarkably efficient, usually concluding within 18-22 minutes. This timeframe rigorously accounts for comprehensive document verification, the necessary administration of oaths, and secure processing of all required payments.

People Also Ask About GLOUCESTER COUNTY STORE

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

Yes, absolutely. For all minor passport applications at the Gloucester County Store, a pre-scheduled appointment is mandatory. This ensures dedicated time for the necessary two-parent consent, thorough documentation review, and proper oath administration, which collectively constitute a more involved process. While the facility prioritizes efficient service, walk-ins for minor passport applications cannot be accommodated due to the strict federal requirements concerning parental presence and comprehensive paperwork. You can conveniently schedule an appointment online via the Gloucester County official website or by calling the Deptford office directly at (856) 845-6300 during standard business hours. Having all required documents, including proof of parentage and valid identification for both parents, readily organized prior to your arrival at 1750 Deptford Center Road will significantly streamline your visit.

Securing a passport for your child through the Gloucester County Store is a straightforward process, provided all prerequisites are meticulously met. For children under 16, federal regulations mandate that both parents or legal guardians must be present, along with the child, during the scheduled application appointment. You will need to bring the child’s original proof of U.S. citizenship, such as their certified birth certificate or previous passport, valid government-issued photo identification for both parents, and a recent 2×2 inch passport photo. If one parent is unavailable, specific, notarized consent forms (DS-3053) are required. Our dedicated specialists at the 1750 Deptford Center Road location are highly experienced in guiding families through these specific requirements, ensuring all forms are correctly completed, witnessed, and submitted. Arriving 10 minutes early with all your paperwork organized will help facilitate a smooth and efficient application experience.

For a U.S. passport application submitted at the Gloucester County Store, your photograph must strictly adhere to the 2×2 inch (51×51 mm) size requirement. It is absolutely crucial that the photo is current, taken within the last six months, and accurately reflects your present appearance without any filters or alterations. The image must be in color, taken against a plain white or off-white background, and completely free of any shadows. Head coverings are generally not permitted unless worn daily for religious purposes, and any eyeglasses must be removed for the photo. While the Deptford location at 1750 Deptford Center Road does not offer on-site photo services, there are several convenient and professional options nearby. Both the CVS Pharmacy at 1692 Clements Bridge Road and The UPS Store on Hurffville Road (approximately 0.5 miles away) offer reliable passport photo services that meet all federal requirements, ensuring your application proceeds without issue.

Yes, in fact, it is highly recommended and, for children under 16, often a federal requirement for both parents to apply together for a child’s passport at the Gloucester County Store. This strict adherence to the “Two-Parent Consent” rule ensures the child’s welfare and prevents international parental child abduction. Both parents must appear in person with the child, present their valid government-issued identification, and sign the DS-11 application form directly in front of a passport acceptance agent at our Deptford facility. If one parent is unable to attend, they must provide a notarized Statement of Consent (Form DS-3053) along with a clear photocopy of both the front and back of their ID. Our experienced staff at 1750 Deptford Center Road are exceptionally adept at navigating these specific federal regulations and are readily available to answer any questions you may have prior to your scheduled appointment.

The Gloucester County Store at 1750 Deptford Center Road operates with consistent hours tailored to best serve the community’s passport needs. Typically, the facility is open for passport application acceptance Monday through Friday, from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. It’s important to note that the office is closed on all state-recognized holidays and may have adjusted hours for specific county-related closures. Therefore, it is always prudent to verify the most current operating schedule by checking the official Gloucester County website or by calling their main line at (856) 845-6300 before your visit. While the building may open slightly earlier for general county services, official passport application processing appointments commence precisely at 8:30 AM. Planning your visit within these specific hours ensures your application can be fully processed by our dedicated agents without interruption.
