📖 About this office
The Madison County Probate Court on Memorial Parkway is a well-established government passport acceptance facility in Huntsville. Unlike USPS branches, this is a county government office that added passport services to better serve the region's growing population — a decision that drew enough demand to become one of the busier acceptance points in North Alabama.
The Probate Court offers both scheduled appointments and first-come, first-served slots on select days of the week, making it flexible for applicants with unpredictable schedules. The office accepts Form DS-11 for new passports, first-time renewals that must go through an agent, and applications for minors. On-site passport photos are available for a small additional fee.
Families traveling together will find this county office particularly convenient: staff are experienced with child passport rules, including the two-parent consent requirements for applicants under 16. For context on what to expect statewide, the Alabama passport acceptance guide covers the full picture including the Atlanta Passport Agency for urgent needs.
💡 Good to know
To schedule an appointment, call 256-532-1058 or email passports@madisoncountyal.gov. Bring originals of all documents — the probate clerk must inspect them in person and will return them after processing. Minors under 16 require both parents or guardians present unless you have a notarized statement of consent from the absent parent (Form DS-3053).
