Bath County Circuit Court Passport Services

Once your application is submitted at the Bath County Circuit Court, you can track its progress online through the State Department’s website using the application locator number provided on your receipt. This number is typically an alphanumeric code, like 12345AB67890. It’s crucial to retain this receipt. For residents near Warm Springs, keep in mind that cell service can be spotty in some areas. So, download or print a copy of the tracking instructions before you leave the courthouse at 65 Courthouse Hill Road. You can also call the National Passport Information Center, but online tracking is generally the quickest and most convenient method.

Yes, free parking is available at the Bath County Circuit Court. There is a 25-space lot directly adjacent to the courthouse building at 65 Courthouse Hill Road. However, during peak hours, such as weekday mornings, the lot can fill up quickly. If the courthouse lot is full, street parking is available on Main Street, approximately 0.2 miles away. Just be aware of the two-hour parking limit enforced by the town. So arrive a little early to ensure you secure a spot and have enough time to reach the clerk’s office.

When applying for a passport at the Bath County Circuit Court, you’ll need to pay two separate fees: one to the U.S. Department of State and one to the Bath County Circuit Court. The fee payable to the U.S. Department of State can be paid by check or money order. For the fee payable to the Bath County Circuit Court, most commonly for the execution fee, cash or check is accepted. Credit or debit cards are generally not accepted at this location, so it is wise to come prepared. It saves time and avoids any last-minute scrambles to find an ATM in Warm Springs.

Passport photos must adhere to specific size requirements to be accepted. The correct size for a U.S. passport photo is 2×2 inches (51×51 mm).

Make sure to use a professional photo service, such as the CVS Pharmacy on Main Street in Warm Springs, to ensure your photo meets these standards before heading to the Bath County Circuit Court.

Parking at the Bath County Circuit Court is relatively straightforward, with a free 25-space parking lot directly adjacent to the building on Courthouse Hill Road. Spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. On busy days, like Mondays and Fridays, or during peak court session times, parking can fill up quickly. Alternative parking is available along Main Street, approximately 0.2 miles away. However, be mindful of the two-hour parking limit enforced by the town between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. There are no designated parking garages in Warm Springs, so street parking is your best bet if the courthouse lot is full.

In the winter, ice and snow can accumulate quickly, so exercise caution when walking to and from your car. Allow an extra 5-10 minutes to account for potentially icy conditions. For passport appointments, arriving 15 minutes early provides ample time to find parking and check in at the clerk’s office.
