Let’s walk through your passport journey, Whitesboro style.
First things first, gather every single document like you’re preparing for the county fair’s most important competition. Birth certificate, current ID, social security card – no stone left unturned. Pro tip: Miller’s General Store often has extra copies of forms if you’re missing something.
Not sure which type you need? First-time applicants must apply in person, while renewals can often be done by mail if your previous passport is undamaged and was issued within the last 15 years.
Forget those stiff, awkward passport photos. In Whitesboro, we know presentation matters. Head to our local photography spot or Miller’s General Store for professional-grade shots that’ll make your international ID look sharp. No weird shadows, no squinting – just pure Alabama charm.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
Time to channel your most meticulous self. Each box matters, each line counts. We recommend using black ink and printing clearly – think of it like filling out your best 4-H competition application. Double-check everything before submitting.
Fill out Form DS-11 for new applications or DS-82 for renewals. Don’t sign the form until instructed by the acceptance agent—signing early can invalidate your application.
Before submission, spread out your documents on the town hall counter and review everything. Our local staff loves helping catch potential mistakes. Consider this your pre-flight checklist – thoroughness is our Whitesboro guarantee.
Passport photos must be 2×2 inches, taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white background. Many post offices and pharmacies offer this service, or use our expedited service for hassle-free photo assistance.
March those documents to our town hall with confidence. Our staff treats each passport application like sending a hometown hero on a global adventure. They’ll review everything, answer questions, and make sure you’re ready for whatever journey awaits.
Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks. Need it faster? Our expedited service can get your passport in as little as 3 business days with zero errors guaranteed. Call (800) 860-8610 to get started.
Patience is a Whitesboro virtue. After submission, track your passport online or check with our town hall. Most applications take 4-6 weeks, but expedited options exist. Think of it like waiting for the county fair – excitement builds with every passing day!
Track your application status online at the State Department’s website using your last name, date of birth, and last 4 digits of your Social Security number. Updates typically appear within 7-10 days of submission.
