Hey Fayetteville friends! Planning that dream vacation or a quick hop across the border? Getting your passport might seem daunting, but it’s actually quite straightforward. You can usually handle it through the local post office or courthouse, but if you need it ASAP, we’re here to help expedite the process. Just remember to allow ample time, even expedited services have processing times. So, grab a Dickson Street coffee, take a deep breath, and let’s get your passport sorted! We’ll walk you through everything.
First things first: Do you need a brand new passport or just a renewal? If you’ve never had one before, your old passport is lost/stolen, or your previous passport was issued when you were under 16, you’ll need a new one. Renewal is simpler, but only applies if your passport is still valid or expired less than 5 years ago, was issued when you were 16 or older, and is undamaged. Check your current passport – the issue date is key!
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.
For a new passport, you’ll need proof of U.S. citizenship, like your birth certificate (original or certified copy). You’ll also need a valid photo ID, such as your Arkansas driver’s license. Renewing? Your expiring passport is the most important document! Make photocopies of everything. Keep the originals safe and submit the copies along with your application.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
The correct form is crucial. For new passports, you’ll use Form DS-11. For renewals, it’s typically Form DS-82 (if you meet the renewal criteria). Download the forms from the U.S. Department of State website. Fill them out neatly and accurately – black ink only! Don’t sign the DS-11 form until instructed to do so by an acceptance agent. 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.
Passport photos have strict requirements. They must be 2×2 inches, in color, with a white or off-white background, and taken within the last six months. Walgreens or CVS on College Avenue usually offer passport photo services and know the requirements. Avoid wearing white clothing, and remove glasses unless medically necessary. A neutral expression is best. Getting a good photo can save you delays.
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.
For new passports (DS-11), you’ll need to submit your application in person at an acceptance facility. The USPS offices on Gregg Avenue and MLK Jr. Boulevard in Fayetteville offer passport services by appointment. Call ahead to schedule. For renewals via DS-82, you can usually mail it in. Need it faster? We offer expedited processing to get your passport back sooner than standard times.
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.
Once you’ve submitted your application, you’ll receive a tracking number. Use it on the Department of State’s website to check the status of your application. Processing times can vary, so be patient. Standard processing can take several weeks, even months, so plan accordingly. If you opted for expedited service, it will be faster, but still allow time. Get ready for your adventure!
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.
