First things first – determine if you need a brand new passport or a renewal. Ogden residents typically find renewals smoother, especially if your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years. Check your current document’s expiration and condition carefully.

Gather your proof of citizenship like a seasoned Iowa document detective. Birth certificates, previous passports, and government-issued IDs are your ammunition. Pro tip: Ogden City Hall can help verify document authenticity if you’re uncertain about anything.

Fill out DS-11 or DS-82 forms with laser-focused accuracy. Mistakes mean delays, and around here, we value efficiency. Double-check every box, every signature. Our local postal workers have seen it all and appreciate meticulously completed forms.

Passport photos in Ogden are an art form. Stop by Olsen’s Drug Store for professionally sized pictures that meet strict federal guidelines. Avoid casual selfies – these photos need to represent your most official self against a plain background.

Bring everything to Ogden City Hall during business hours. Our local staff know the drill and can spot potential issues before they become problems. They’ll review your documents with that personal touch Ogden is known for.

Payment is the final frontier. Bring exact fees in check or money order – no cash, no drama. Current passport fees vary by age and type, so confirm the exact amount beforehand. Our City Hall team can break down the costs transparently.
