Talladega County Court - Sylacauga Branch

Talladega County runs a second passport acceptance point in Sylacauga from its court offices at 400 N Norton Avenue, a few blocks north of the downtown core. The clerks here act as passport acceptance agents alongside their usual court and recording duties, witnessing your DS-11 signature and sealing the application for submission. It is a practical choice if you are already at the Sylacauga branch for county business such as marriage licenses, deeds or probate matters and want to file your passport in the same trip.

Because this is a court office rather than a post office, it does not take passport photos, so arrive with a compliant 2x2 photo from a local pharmacy or studio. Like the Broadway Avenue post office, it processes first-time adult applications and children's passports, and every applicant under 16 must appear with both parents or guardians. You'll find the checklist and fees that apply everywhere in the state on the Alabama passport guide.

Call ahead to confirm passport hours, since court staff fit acceptance appointments around clerk business. No photos are taken here, so get your 2x2 photo first; if you also need photos in one stop, the Sylacauga Post Office is the better fit. Both options feed into the same standard Alabama processing path.
