Passports
You will need a passport to go abroad. You should start the process of applying or renewing your passport at least 3 months before you depart. Our office hosts two Passport Drives annually in the Fall and Spring semesters. During this event the Monroe County Clerk is on campus to take passport photos, process passport applications and renew passports. See the links below to find out what forms of ID are required and the associated costs. The paper applications will be available at the event.
