Let’s get you traveling with Walton-style efficiency!
First things first – are you a first-time applicant or renewing? Walton residents have unique travel needs, and we customize our approach accordingly. For new passports, you’ll need more comprehensive documentation compared to renewals. We recommend gathering ALL potential identification documents before your visit.
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.
Boone County’s documentation requirements can feel like a treasure hunt. You’ll need a valid government-issued photo ID, proof of citizenship (like a birth certificate), and social security card. Pro tip from your Walton neighbors: make copies of everything BEFORE you arrive to streamline the process.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
Not all passport photos are created equal! We recommend using the CVS Pharmacy right here in Walton for professional-grade images. Our local experts know exactly what federal requirements demand – no weird shadows, neutral expressions, and proper sizing. We’ll help you avoid those common photo rejection pitfalls.
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.
Whether you’re using DS-11 or DS-82, accuracy matters. Our Walton team will review every line, every checkbox. We’ve seen countless applications and know exactly where people typically make mistakes. Consider us your personal passport paperwork guardian angels.
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.
When you’re ready to submit, our local facility makes the process smooth as butter. We’ll verify all documentation, answer any last-minute questions, and ensure everything meets federal standards. No stress, no hassle – just pure Walton hospitality mixed with professional expertise.
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.
Fees vary based on passport type and processing speed. We accept multiple payment methods and can break down exact costs during your consultation. Typical turnaround times range from 4-6 weeks for standard processing, or 2-3 weeks for expedited services. Our team will guide you through every financial detail.
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.
