The Sussex County Clerk’s Office is a passport acceptance agency for the U.S. Department of State. Citizens may apply at the Clerk’s Office in Newton for a United States Passport Book or Passport Card.

Note: Persons applying for a passport book or passport card should take note of “busy” application periods. Early spring is traditionally the busiest time for passport requests, so applicants should plan ahead whenever possible and apply as early as December or January to avoid possible high volume delays.
