How to Get a Passport in England, Arkansas
Let’s walk through your passport adventure, England style.
1
Figure Out: New Traveler or Renewal Pro?
First things first – are you a first-time passport seeker or a seasoned traveler needing renewal? New applicants will need more documentation, so grab those birth certificates and prepare for a bit more paperwork. Renewals? You’ve got a smoother path ahead.
💡 Pro Tip:
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.
2
Hunt Down Your Proof of Identity
We take identity seriously in England. Bring your driver’s license, social security card, and any government-issued ID. Pro tip: Make copies beforehand. Our City Hall staff appreciate organized travelers who respect their time.
💡 Pro Tip:
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
3
Gather Those Essential Documents
Time to assemble your passport packet. Birth certificate (original, not a copy), proof of citizenship, and recent photo are non-negotiable. If you’re renewing, include your previous passport. Johnson County Courthouse staff can help verify documents if you’re unsure.
💡 Pro Tip:
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.
4
Picture Perfect: Passport Photo Time
Local pharmacies and the Bank of England lobby offer passport photo services. No selfies allowed! Wear neutral colors, no hats, and look directly at the camera. Our small-town photographers know exactly what federal requirements demand.
💡 Pro Tip:
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.
5
Submit Your Passport Application
Head to City Hall with your completed application, documents, and payment. Our staff will review everything meticulously. Expect questions, but also expect genuine helpfulness. We’re not just processing paperwork; we’re helping neighbors explore the world.
💡 Pro Tip:
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.
6
Fees and Final Touches
Passport fees vary by type and processing speed. Cash, local bank checks, and sometimes credit cards are accepted. Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks, but expedited options exist. Pro tip: Budget an extra $60 for faster service if you’ve got travel plans brewing.
💡 Pro Tip:
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
We compiled a list of answers to address your most pressing questions regarding our Services.
As of 2023, a standard adult (16 and over) passport costs £82.50 online and £93 via postal application. Child passports (under 16) are £56.50 online and £67 by post. These prices include standard processing and are subject to periodic government adjustments.
No, British citizens do not require a passport for internal travel within the United Kingdom. However, you’ll need a valid passport for international travel, including trips to Europe and other countries. For domestic travel, a driving license or other government-issued ID is typically sufficient.
Adult passports (aged 16 and over) are valid for 10 years from the date of issue. Child passports (under 16) are valid for 5 years. It’s recommended to renew your passport at least 6 months before expiration, especially for international travel, as many countries require this.
No, you must provide a new passport photo that meets current UK guidelines. Photos must be recent (taken within the last month), in color, and follow strict specifications about background, pose, and image quality. Professional photo services can help ensure your image meets all requirements.
Immediately report a lost or stolen passport to the Passport Adviceline and local police. You’ll need to apply for a replacement using form PC1, providing details of the loss/theft. There’s an additional fee for replacement, and processing might take longer than a standard application.
Standard passport fees apply to most applicants. However, certain groups might qualify for reduced fees or exemptions, such as individuals receiving some state benefits or those with specific medical conditions. Always check the latest government guidelines for current pricing and potential concessions.
The UK allows dual citizenship, so you can hold a British passport alongside passports from other countries. However, each country has its own rules about dual citizenship, so it’s important to check the specific regulations of all countries involved in your situation.
