Appointment to Apply in Person  

Rockingham County has staff located in the Rockingham County Circuit Court Clerk's Office at 80 Court Square, Harrisonburg, VA 22802 to handle DS-11 passport applications. See Renewals below if you are not using the DS-11 form. Passport applications are accepted Monday - Friday, excluding holidays, during normal office hours (8:30 AM - 4:30 PM). Appointments are available for up to 6 individuals at a time so that a family/group can come at the same time to submit their applications. Appointments are highly recommended and will have priority over any walk-ins without an appointment. Walk-ins may not be accepted after 4:00 PM. Expedited service is offered for an additional fee.

WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU TO YOUR APPOINTMENT:

• Completed application for a U.S. Passport (DS-11) in black ink with no errors/corrections. Passport forms are available in the Circuit Court lobby or you can complete the form online and print prior to coming to the office. If the applicant makes an error on the DS-11, they must complete a new DS-11 form. Corrections made with white-out, crossing out the incorrect information, writing the correction on top of the error, etc., are NOT acceptable.

PAYMENT INFORMATION:

• If a family/group is applying at the same time, a separate check/money order for the application fee is required for each application. You cannot group the fees for several applications together in one check/money order as a separate fee is required to be attached to each application to send to the U.S. Department of State.

• Can be cash, check, or money order. Checks or money orders can be made payable to Rockingham County.
