Obtaining a U.S Passport

Lakewood residents may apply for United States passports in Lakewood. Applications can be submitted at the Northern Ocean County Resource Center, 225 4th Street, Lakewood, NJ (732) 370-8850. But if you plan to shop at the Ocean County Mall there is a location near JC Penney, (732) 288-7777, where passport applications can be made. A web page of the County Clerk details what is needed to get a passport. In addition to proof of citizenship, proof of identification is required. This may consist of a valid driver's license (not a permit) or a permanent identification card issued by a government agency, employer or school. The total fee is $100.00
