Due to the COVID-19 statewide public health emergency, the County of Union is open for essential business only.

Anyone wishing to visit on non-essential matters will not be allowed access to public buildings, and we encourage our residents to use our website for any non-emergent, non-essential service they may require. Visitors for essential Social Services such as Food Stamps (SNAP), and emergency assistance will be allowed entry to the Division of Social Services Building at 342 Westminster Avenue in Elizabeth.

For other essential services such as the County Clerk,  we encourage you to call ahead to make an appointment or see if you can conduct your business online first.

Hours of Operation: 9:00am to 4:00pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Testing is available to all Union County residents who wish to be tested, whether or not they are experiencing symptoms. It is free of charge, regardless of whether you have insurance or not.

It is also available to all first responders and frontline health workers who are asymptomatic and that work in Union County, regardless of their residence.

Testing is also available to first responders and frontline health workers who live and work outside the County, but reside in New Jersey.

An appointment is required and all visitors must arrive in cars. No walk-ins are accepted.
