St. Clair County Circuit Court Passport Services

When applying for a new U.S. passport book at the St. Clair County Circuit Court, applicants will pay two separate fees. The federal application fee is $130 for adults (16 and older) or $100 for minors (under 16), payable by personal check or money order only, addressed to the “U.S. Department of State.” You cannot pay this fee with cash or a credit card at this facility. Additionally, there is a $35 execution fee, which is collected by the St. Clair County Circuit Court for processing your application. This execution fee can be paid by check, money order, or cash. For those requiring a passport card in addition to or instead of a book, the federal fee is $30 for adults and $15 for minors, plus the $35 execution fee. Ensure you bring the correct payment methods as per these instructions to avoid delays.

If you require your passport sooner than the standard processing times, the St. Clair County Circuit Court can facilitate expedited services. When you apply, you will indicate your need for expedited processing on the DS-11 form. This service carries an additional federal fee of $60, payable to the “U.S. Department of State” by check or money order. While the Osceola facility processes your application promptly, the expedited service itself is handled by the national passport centers. Current expedited processing times are significantly shorter than routine service. It is also recommended to consider adding a 1-2 day delivery service for an extra $19.53 to ensure your new passport reaches you quickly once issued. Discuss these options with the clerk during your visit to ensure all necessary steps are taken for urgent travel.

Absolutely, expedited service is available for those needing their passport in a shorter timeframe through the St. Clair County Circuit Court. While the court’s role is primarily to accept and verify your application, they are fully equipped to submit your documents with the expedited service request. You will need to inform the clerk at the time of your appointment that you wish to expedite your application. This involves an additional $60 federal fee for each passport book or card, paid separately to the Department of State. For a comprehensive overview of current processing times and to ensure you meet any specific travel deadlines, it’s always wise to check the official Department of State website or consult with the clerk when you call to schedule your appointment in Osceola. They can provide the most up-to-date guidance for your specific situation.

As of late 2024, the processing times for U.S. passport applications can vary, but the St. Clair County Circuit Court will submit your application for the standard federal timelines. For routine processing, you can generally expect to receive your new passport within 7 to 10 weeks from the date of application submission. If you opt for expedited service, the processing time is substantially reduced, typically taking 3 to 5 weeks. It is important to remember that these are average estimates, and actual times can fluctuate based on national volume. The processing time begins once your application arrives at a passport agency or center, not from the date you submit it at the Osceola facility. You can track the status of your application online using the Department of State’s tracking tool, usually available a week or two after your Osceola appointment.

Additional free street parking can be found on adjacent Commercial Street, which runs parallel to 2ND STREET, just one block west. These spots rarely fill completely, even during peak court hours. For those preferring off-street parking, a small, unmarked municipal parking lot is situated behind the courthouse, accessible via a narrow drive off Commercial Street. This gravel lot offers approximately 18 to 20 free spaces and places you roughly 0.1 miles (a 2-minute walk) from the court’s north entrance. Arriving about 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled passport appointment should provide ample time to find a suitable spot and make your way inside without rush. During summer months, be mindful of the Missouri heat; consider parking closer and using the accessible ramp if mobility is a concern. In winter, brick sidewalks can become slick with ice, so exercise caution when walking from your vehicle, especially if you park further down 2ND STREET or on Commercial Street.
