Lamont McClure and the Clerk of Court – Civil Division announce that the County of Northampton will begin accepting passport applications by appointment only on Monday, July 12, 2021. To make an appointment, call 610-829-6457. Applications will be processed in the Prothonotary, located on the Lower Level of the Courthouse at 669 Washington Street, Easton, PA 18042. Applicants who have not been vaccinated must wear a mask while at the Government Center.
