📖 About this office
The Rock Island County Circuit Court, located at 210 15th Street in downtown Rock Island, is one of the county's established passport acceptance facilities administered through the Illinois circuit court system. The courthouse serves applicants who prefer a government court setting over a post office, and staff at the Circuit Clerk's office process DS-11 forms for first-time passport applicants and child passport submissions. Note that passport photos are not available at this location — applicants should arrange photos beforehand.
The Circuit Clerk's office is open Monday through Friday during standard business hours. Because courthouse staffing can vary, it is advisable to call ahead at (309) 786-4451 before visiting to confirm that passport acceptance services are available that day and whether an appointment is recommended.
For a broader look at all options in the area, the Rock Island passport guide lists each facility along with key details, and the statewide Illinois passport page provides context on processing times and the nearest full-service agency.
💡 Good to know
Passport photos are NOT available at the Rock Island County Circuit Court. Bring your own passport-size photo when you arrive. Have your completed DS-11 form, proof of US citizenship (original birth certificate or naturalization certificate), and valid government-issued photo ID ready. The Circuit Clerk's office forwards your application to a regional facility — it does not issue passports on-site. See the Rock Island city page for the full list of nearby acceptance locations.
