Williams Charter Township, through the Clerk’s Office, can now accept your passport applications Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

What to bring when applying for your passport:  

• Completed passport application.  These forms may be obtained at our office or through the US Department of State’s website at www.travel.state.gov.  The applications are easy to fill out, but they require detailed personal information, so you are strongly encouraged to obtain the appropriate form and fill it out before you come in.
• New Passports:  DS-11 (Gold Form)
• Renewals (Children): DS-11 (Gold Form)
• Birth certificate with a raised seal, or a previously issued US passport issued after your sixteenth birthday, to prove citizenship. These documents will be sent to the Passport Authority along with the passport application but will be returned to you with your new passport.
