Apply for a Passport Book or Passport Card

You can come to the Walworth County Clerk of Circuit Court Office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m, Monday through Friday.

If you are applying for a first time passport or are unable to locate a prior passport, you will need to complete a current DS-11 form. We provide this form at no charge to individuals (large groups or organizations, with the exception of schools, must purchase the forms directly from the Passport Agency). If you download a form online, it must be a good quality copy in order for us to accept it. The form is to be completed in black ink.

You may fill out the application at the Clerk of Courts Office or take it with you.

Requirements

You must have the following when applying:

• You must have a completed application (unsigned).
• Bring one passport photo (this can be obtained from any photo studio).
• One certified copy of your birth certificate which has been registered with the state in which you were born (this need to be submitted with the application but will be returned, hospital copies are not acceptable) or a previous passport in lieu of a birth certificate. When a previous passport is submitted with a child’s application, a certified copy of their birth certificate must also accompany the application. This is to establish a clear relationship to the parent. Naturalized U.S. citizens must submit the original signed naturalization certificate in lieu of a birth certificate. This will be returned with the passport. Your passport book or card and proof of birth will be returned in separate envelopes from the passport agency.
• Your driver’s license or state identification with a photo for identification. All applicants must appear in person. We will use the parent’s driver’s license for identification of anyone 17 or younger. Both parents or legal guardian(s) must be present when applying for a passport for a child under 16. If only one parent/guardian appears you must also submit one of the following: Second parent’s/guardian’s notarized written statement consenting to passport issuance for the child, Primary evidence of sole authority to apply, or a written statement, form DS-3053 (made under penalty of perjury) explaining the second parent’s unavailability. A copy of your driver’s license or photo identification will be submitted with the application.

If you have all the necessary information and your application is completed correctly, the time necessary for us to process it should be 15 minutes or less.
