📖 About this office
The Saline County Circuit Clerk runs a designated passport acceptance desk inside the county courthouse at 200 North Main Street in downtown Benton, and it is the go-to government office for residents who want to apply where their county records already live. Staff accept and verify new applications, child passports and replacements for lost, stolen or damaged books, then forward everything to the State Department.
Because it sits downtown, parking is the usual courthouse-square mix of street and lot spaces, so allow a few extra minutes at busy times. It is one of three acceptance points in Benton; if you also need a photo taken on the spot, the nearby post office may suit you better, while the county library offers longer weekday and weekend windows. The Arkansas passport guide sets out the document rules and fees used across the state.
💡 Good to know
The passport office is in Room 113 with a direct passport line at (501) 303-5607. Call ahead, and complete DS-11 in advance without signing it. Photos are not the office's focus, so plan to bring your own or use the Benton post office for a same-visit photo. The desk is wheelchair accessible.
