Mercer County Clerk's Office Relocating This Weekend

The Mercer County Clerk’s Office will have a temporary home for two years while renovations are performed on the Courthouse Annex, county officials said on Wednesday.

The Courthouse Annex, located at 209 South Broad Street, is being renovated in order to bring it up to modern day safety standards.

The Clerk’s Office is relocating to 240 West State Street in Trenton this weekend. All of the County Clerk’s services, and its public record room, will be available to the public at the new location, on the sixth and seventh floors.

The public records room will be located on the sixth floor, where residents can also record property, obtain a passport, register a small business and be sworn in as a notary public.

The seventh floor will house the Clerk’s Elections Department and ID area. On that floor, residents can complete their vote by mail application and obtain a ballot for the upcoming 2016 elections, or file a nominating petition to run for office.

The move will take place Jan. 15-18, with the office opening for business at its new location on Tuesday, Jan. 18.
