📖 About this office
The Hawkins County Chancery Court, housed at the courthouse on East Main Street in Rogersville, serves as the county's designated passport acceptance office. The Clerk and Master's staff process applications here, examining your documents, administering the applicant oath, and mailing the sealed forms to a State Department center. It is a fitting service point in a county seat whose brick-lined main street is one of the oldest in Tennessee.
This courthouse option pairs well with the nearby post office: some applicants prefer the government setting and the clerk's familiarity with certified vital records, which the office can also help locate for citizenship proof. Because the court keeps its own calendar, it is wise to phone ahead to confirm passport hours before making the trip downtown.
Whether you are renewing for an overseas trip or filing for a newborn, the courthouse gives Rogersville-area residents a second dependable place to apply without driving to a larger city. Compare both local counters on the Rogersville passport page, or browse other Tennessee towns nearby.
💡 Good to know
Call ahead to verify the current passport window, as the court schedules acceptance around its docket. Payment for State Department fees and the acceptance fee are collected separately, so bring more than one form of payment. If the courthouse timing does not suit you, the post office in Rogersville offers an appointment-based alternative.
