Renewals are typically smoother, requiring less paperwork and typically processed faster than initial applications.

Gather everything like you’re preparing for a Flathead Lake fishing trip – meticulously. You’ll need proof of citizenship, valid photo ID, passport photos, and application forms. Our local staff can help verify your documents, ensuring nothing gets missed in the process.

Fill out your DS-11 (new passport) or DS-82 (renewal) forms with the same attention to detail you’d use crafting a perfect Montana fly fishing knot. Double-check every field, use black ink, and avoid any stray marks that might delay processing.

Passport photos in Somers can be taken at the Town Hall or local pharmacies. Pro tip: Choose a background that doesn’t scream ‘small town’ – neutral colors work best. Look directly at the camera with a neutral expression, channeling that calm Flathead Lake energy.

Head to Somers Town Hall during business hours. Our friendly staff will review your application, verify documents, and guide you through submission. Bring cash or check for processing fees – we’re old school like that. Expect processing times of 6-8 weeks for routine service.
