First things first – are you a first-time traveler or renewing an expired document? For newcomers, we recommend starting at the local post office, where our staff understands the nuances of first-time applications. Bring every scrap of identification, from birth certificate to social security card. Renewals? Slightly different game plan, but equally straightforward.

New Berlin residents know preparation is key. Collect your documents like you’re preparing for the county fair – meticulously and with pride. You’ll need proof of citizenship, government-issued photo ID, and a recent photograph that meets strict federal guidelines. Pro tip: the local library often has resources to help you navigate these requirements.

Our town might be small, but we take passport photos seriously. Skip the DIY approach and head to the local pharmacy or post office. They understand exactly what federal agents want – a clear, neutral expression that looks like the real you. No dramatic poses, just pure New Berlin authenticity.

Form DS-11 is your ticket to international travel. Fill it out like you’re completing your tax return – carefully and accurately. The local post office staff can review your application, ensuring every box is checked and every line is perfect. Remember, precision is a New Berlin tradition.

Fees vary depending on age and passport type. Bring multiple payment methods – we’re flexible in New Berlin. The processing time ranges from 4-6 weeks for routine service, or 2-3 weeks if you’re willing to pay the expedited fee. Our local facilities make this process as smooth as our famous corn harvest.

Once submitted, tracking your passport becomes an exciting waiting game. Use the provided tracking number and check status online. When it arrives, celebrate at Beekman’s with a local treat – you’re officially ready for international adventures, New Berlin style!
