Saratoga County Clerk Passport Night
Saratoga County Clerk to host Passport Night
The Saratoga County Clerk’s Office at 40 McMaster St., Ballston Spa, will host a Passport Night from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, September 20, by appointment only.
The first of its kind in Saratoga County, the Clerk’s Office is offering these extended hours as a convenience to those whose schedules make it difficult to visit the office to apply for a passport during regular business hours.
“We realize not everyone who needs to obtain a passport for an upcoming trip is able to come into the office during our daytime hours,” County Clerk Craig Hayner said. “We are excited to offer this opportunity for busy families and individuals to apply for their passports with the assistance of our knowledgeable staff at a time that is more convenient.”
To book an appointment slot, call the County Clerk’s office at 518-885-2213.
Application forms will be available, and photos can be taken on site. Those planning to attend can also download a copy of the passport application in advance at www.travel.state.gov and fill them out ahead of time. However, the applications must be signed in front of an acceptance agent at the Clerk’s Office.
Applicants should bring:
Passport fees are as follows:
Expedited service — $60 per applicant
Current processing times are about 10-14 weeks or 7-9 weeks for expedited applications. However, processing times can vary.
Passport renewals for those over 16 must be mailed by the applicant, however, the required new photo can be obtained at the County Clerk’s Office.
Regular hours for passport services are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
