The Clerk’s services, which include the issuing of passports, election information/absentee voting, notary oaths and public records, will be conducted on of the fourth floor of Hudson County Plaza located at 257 Cornelison Avenue in Jersey City. Effective July 29, the phone number for the County Clerk’s Office will change to 201-369-3470. The move is bittersweet, says Hudson County Clerk, Barbara A. Netchert. “While our new facility will ensure more efficient and convenient service for residents looking to obtain passports or public information, we will all miss the beautiful old court house,” says Clerk Netchert. “We are eager for Hudson County residents to visit us at our new home.” Residents are encouraged to check online at www.hudsoncountyclerk.org for ongoing updates and information.
