To obtain a passport application for the first time, you will need to present two photographs of yourself, proof of U.S. citizenship, your original birth certificate, and a valid form of photo identification such as a driver's license to the circuit clerk's office.

Passport service fees are established by law and regulation and are collected at the time you apply for the passport service. Please call the office for a schedule of fees. Checks are made payable to the Pendleton County Circuit Clerk.
