OR

Naturalization papers

AND

Two passport photos, which can be acquired locally, contact the Union County Clerk’s Office (541-963-1006) for information on which local businesses provide passport photos.

More information can be found on the Department of State website.

Passport fee payments are payable by check, or money order only made out to: U.S. Department of State. You will need separate checks for each application. If submitting several applications at one time (i.e. group or family), it is acceptable to combine the total of all of Union County’s portion of the processing fees into one check. Each application must have a separate check or money order for the portion going to the U.S. Department of State.
Contact Union County Clerk’s Office (541) 963-1006 for fees.

Requirements for filling out the forms are as follows:

• No mistakes, if you do make a mistake you need a new form.
• Use only black ink.
• Fill in all numbered areas. Some questions may appear repetitive.
• If you do not have a departure date, write in “UNKNOWN” or “NONE”
• Do not sign the application until requested by Clerk’s Office Staff.
