The Luzerne County prothonotary maintains two full-service offices in both the Luzerne County Courthouse (2^nd Floor) in Wilkes-Barre and the Luzerne County Annex in Hazleton. Passports are processed at both offices. As the Hazleton office is staffed by one employee, it is recommended that you call before going to the office to ensure that the office is open that day.
