📖 About this office
The Ravalli County Clerk of District Court accepts passport applications from Room D of the county courthouse on Bedford Street, a block off Hamilton's main street. As a designated acceptance agent, the clerk's staff witness your DS-11 signature, confirm your citizenship and identity records, and forward the sealed application to the State Department.
This is a good choice if you're already handling other county business or prefer the courthouse to a post-office counter. Note that the office does not take passport photos, so arrive with a compliant photo. A few blocks north, the Hamilton Post Office is the alternative, with statewide fees and timelines on the Montana state guide.
💡 Good to know
Standard courthouse hours are weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; calling ahead at (406) 375-6710 helps confirm the clerk can process your application when you arrive. Bring your original citizenship document, a photocopy, a photo ID and a compliant passport photo, since photos aren't offered here. The nearby post-office option can take photos if you'd rather do everything in one stop.
