Determining whether you need a brand new passport or a renewal is crucial. First-time applicants will need more documentation, while renewals are typically smoother. Stop by City Hall and our friendly staff can help you navigate the initial paperwork, just like we help neighbors during harvest season.

Gather those essential documents like you’re preparing for a county fair competition. You’ll need proof of citizenship (birth certificate), a valid photo ID, and recent photographs. Our local Ray’s Photography knows exactly the passport photo specifications you’ll need.

Selecting the right form is like choosing the right tractor for your field – precision matters. DS-11 is for first-time applicants, while DS-82 works for renewals. Fill out each line carefully, channeling the same attention to detail you’d use tracking crop yields.

Passport photos in Scott City are an art form. Ray’s Photography on Main Street understands the strict federal requirements. They’ll ensure your photo meets every precise measurement, just like a farmer measures seed rows.

Bring your carefully assembled documents to Scott City Hall. Our staff treats your application like a prized county fair entry – with respect, attention, and local pride. We’ll guide you through submission, answering questions with the same warmth we use at community potlucks.

Passport fees vary based on book or card, adult or child. We accept multiple payment methods and can explain each fee clearly. Processing typically takes 4-6 weeks, but expedited options exist. Think of it like waiting for crops to grow – patience yields great results.
