Are you a first-time applicant or renewing an existing passport? First-time adult applicants need to apply in person at an approved location like the Glastonbury Town Hall. If you’re 16 or older and this is your first passport, you’ll need to complete Form DS-11 and provide proof of US citizenship like a birth certificate.

Collect all necessary documents before your application. You’ll need a government-issued photo ID, proof of citizenship (like a certified birth certificate), a passport photo taken within the last 6 months, and your completed application form. Pro tip: The CVS on Main Street offers passport photo services that meet official requirements.

Fill out Form DS-11 for new passports or DS-82 for renewals. Be sure to use black ink and print clearly. Double-check all information to avoid delays. Glastonbury residents can download these forms online or pick them up at the Town Clerk’s office.

First-time applicants must appear in person at an authorized passport acceptance facility. The Glastonbury Town Hall is an excellent location. Bring all original documents, not photocopies. Expect to pay with a personal check or money order – most facilities don’t accept cash.

Budget for both application and execution fees. Prices vary based on passport type and processing speed. Keep receipts and expect to pay via check or money order. Consider expedited services if you have upcoming travel plans within the next few months.

After submission, you can track your passport status online using the tracking number provided. Most applications are processed within 6-8 weeks. Sign up for email updates to stay informed about your passport’s progress directly from the US Department of State.
