Planning an adventure beyond Morrilton or even the U.S.? Getting your passport doesn’t have to be a daunting task. This guide will walk you through each necessary step, making the process clear and straightforward for residents right here in Conway County. Let’s get you ready for your next international journey!
Before gathering anything, clarify if you’re a first-time applicant or simply renewing. If this is your very first U.S. passport, you’re under 16, or your previous passport was lost/stolen, you’ll need the DS-11 form. This requires an in-person submission. However, if you’re renewing an adult passport that’s still valid or expired within the last 15 years, and it’s undamaged, you can use the DS-82 form and mail it in. Knowing which path to take upfront will save you time and ensure you collect the correct documentation specific to your situation. Double-check the eligibility criteria on the U.S. Department of State website to confirm your category.
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.
This is where you hunt down your proof of U.S. citizenship and a valid photo ID. For citizenship, an original birth certificate with a raised seal, a previous undamaged passport, or a naturalization certificate are primary options. Don’t forget a clear photocopy of both sides for each document! For identification, your valid Arkansas driver’s license works perfectly. Again, you’ll need a photocopy of the front and back of your ID. For minors, parental identification and proof of relationship are also critical. Ensure all these documents are current and in good condition to avoid any delays in 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.
Whether it’s the DS-11 for new applicants or the DS-82 for renewals, download and complete the form from the official U.S. Department of State website. Print it clearly, preferably in black ink. For the DS-11, **do not sign the form** until you are in front of an authorized agent at a passport acceptance facility, as they must witness your signature. For the DS-82, you can sign it beforehand. Accuracy is paramount; any errors could delay your passport. Take your time, read all instructions carefully, and ensure every field is correctly filled out before proceeding.
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.
A crucial step is securing two identical, color passport photos. These must be 2×2 inches, taken within the last six months, with a plain white or off-white background. No hats, glasses (unless medically necessary with a doctor’s note), or uniforms are allowed, and you need a neutral facial expression or a natural smile with both eyes open. Luckily, Morrilton residents have convenient options for this. Head over to **Walgreens at 101 N Moose St, Morrilton, AR 72110**, where they offer passport photo services that meet federal guidelines. This takes the guesswork out of getting it right.
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.
If you’re applying for a first-time passport or need to use the DS-11 form, you must submit your application in person at a designated acceptance facility. For Morrilton residents, the most convenient local option is typically the **U.S. Post Office located at 201 E Broadway St, Morrilton, AR 72110**. It’s highly recommended to call ahead and schedule an appointment, as walk-in services might be limited, and specific hours for passport services vary. Remember to bring all your original documents, photocopies, the unsigned DS-11 form, and your passport photos to your appointment.
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 at the acceptance facility (for DS-11), the agent will review your documents, witness your signature, and seal your application packet. You’ll pay the application fee and an execution fee at this time. For DS-82 renewals, you’ll mail your completed form, old passport, photos, and payment directly to the address specified on the form. After submission, you can track your application status online via the U.S. Department of State’s website. Standard processing times can vary significantly, so plan well in advance of any travel. Keep an eye on your mailbox for your new passport and returned original documents!
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.
