Understanding your specific passport situation is crucial. First-time applicants need a different approach compared to those renewing. For new passports, you’ll need to appear in person at our City Hall, bringing comprehensive documentation that proves your Pleasant Valley residency and identity.

Gather your proof of citizenship—original birth certificate, previous passport, or naturalization documents. Pro tip: make copies beforehand to save time. Our local processing center appreciates organized applicants who come prepared with everything needed.

Your photo matters more than you think. Head to Walgreens on Highway 291 for professional-grade images that meet strict government requirements. No selfies, no casual snapshots—just clean, clear identification that represents Pleasant Valley’s attention to detail.

Fill out Form DS-11 with meticulous care. Use black ink, print clearly, and double-check every entry. Our City Hall staff can offer quick guidance if you’re uncertain about any section, ensuring your application moves smoothly through the system.

Bring your completed application, supporting documents, and payment to Pleasant Valley City Hall. Processing times vary, but our local team works diligently to expedite your request. Expect 4-6 weeks for standard processing, or choose expedited services for faster turnaround.

Current passport fees range from $130-$165 depending on book or card selection. We accept multiple payment methods, making your passport acquisition as smooth as our town’s famous hospitality. Cash, credit, and local checks are welcome at our processing center.
