First things first – are you a first-time passport seeker or looking to renew? First-timers will need to appear in person, while renewals offer more flexibility. We’ve processed passports for generations of Madrid families, so we know every nuance of the application process.

Gather those critical documents like a treasure hunter. You’ll need proof of citizenship (birth certificate), valid photo ID, and social security card. Pro tip: Make copies at the Madrid Public Library to ensure everything is crisp and clear.

Forget boring passport photos. We recommend using Casey’s well-lit areas or the library’s clean background for professional-looking shots. No weird shadows, no squinting – just a genuine Madrid traveler ready to explore the world.

DS-11 for new passports, DS-82 for renewals. Fill these out with the precision of a Story County farmer planting crops. Double-check every box, every signature. Accuracy here saves weeks of potential delays.

Passport fees aren’t just expenses – they’re investments in memories waiting to be made. We accept multiple payment methods and can break down exact costs. Current processing times and fees vary, so our staff provides real-time, personalized guidance.

When you submit your application, you’re not just another number – you’re a Madrid traveler with big dreams. We’ll track your application, provide updates, and ensure everything moves smoothly. Your passport is more than a document; it’s a ticket to your next adventure.
