📖 About this office

The Chittenden Superior Court on Main Street is a government passport acceptance facility, which sets it apart from a post office window. Here the clerk's staff verify your identity, witness your signature on the DS-11 form, and seal your documents for mailing to the U.S. Department of State. Because this is a working courthouse, passport service runs alongside the court's own docket, so hours are tied to the clerk's office rather than to retail schedules. It is a practical choice for downtown Burlington residents and anyone already headed to the courthouse.

💡 Good to know

Call ahead before visiting: as a courthouse, the clerk's office fits passport applicants around court proceedings, so its availability differs from a post office. Bring your completed DS-11, proof of citizenship and a valid photo ID, and be ready to pay the separate acceptance fee. This office does not take passport photos, so have those in hand. If the courthouse schedule does not suit you, the Burlington Post Office a few blocks away is an alternative.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Is the Chittenden Superior Court a passport office?

It is a passport acceptance facility, not an issuing office. The court clerk verifies your identity, witnesses your DS-11 signature and seals the application, which is then mailed to the U.S. Department of State for processing.

Do I need an appointment at the courthouse?

Call the clerk's office before you go. Because passport service shares space with the court's own calendar, appointments or set hours are the dependable way to be seen rather than assuming walk-in availability.

Does the court take passport photos?

No. The courthouse does not provide passport photos, so bring a compliant photo with you. If you need one taken on-site, the Burlington Post Office sells passport photos for a fee.
