Local overview

Getting a passport in Cleveland

Ohio has no passport agency yet; from Cleveland, the nearest is the Detroit Passport Agency, about 95 miles northwest, with Buffalo's about 175 miles northeast. Both take appointments only for travel within 14 days or a visa needed within 28, and a Cincinnati agency is under construction. For a routine first passport, Cuyahoga County has plenty of acceptance facilities. The main post office on Orange Ave and the Public Square post office on Superior Ave schedule passport appointments, and every branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library, such as Brooklyn on Ridge Rd and Parma-Snow on Snow Rd, is an acceptance facility by appointment, with evening and weekend hours. Any Ohio city or county health department can issue an Ohio birth certificate from 1908 on, and the City of Cleveland's Office of Vital Records is at City Hall on Lakeside Ave. Our pages for North Olmsted and Lorain cover nearby cities.
