First things first – are you a passport newbie or looking to refresh an expiring document? Princeton residents have unique travel needs, and we customize our approach accordingly. First-time applicants will need more comprehensive documentation, while renewals typically move faster through our system.

Gather those critical documents like you’re preparing for the county fair. Birth certificate, current ID, social security card – we need the whole lineup. Pro tip from locals: make copies beforehand and keep originals pristine. Our city hall staff appreciate organized applicants who respect their time.

Your passport photo needs to represent Princeton pride! Head to local pharmacies or camera shops that understand our specific requirements. No casual snapshots – think professional, neutral background, and expressions that say ‘I’m ready for international adventures’.

Fill out forms with the same precision you’d use preparing a prize-winning crop. Every detail matters. Consider using blue or black ink, write clearly, and triple-check spelling. Near Rum River Park, locals know attention to detail is everything.

Bring everything to our local processing center, where friendly faces will guide you through submission. Princeton’s city services are known for personal touch – we’ll ensure every document is perfectly positioned. Expect helpful advice and maybe even a local recommendation for your travels.

Payment time! Bring exact fees – cash, credit, or check accepted. Current rates vary based on book or card type. Our local staff can break down costs clearly, ensuring no surprises. Remember, investing in a passport is investing in potential adventures beyond Mille Lacs County!
