First, figure out whether you need a brand new passport or a renewal. New applicants will need more documentation, while renewals are typically smoother. In Cleora, we recommend checking your current passport’s expiration date against your travel plans, giving yourself plenty of buffer time.

Collect every single document with military precision. You’ll need proof of citizenship like a birth certificate, a valid government-issued photo ID, and recent passport photos. Pro tip: our local pharmacy near the Delaware County Courthouse offers excellent photo services that meet all federal requirements.

Filling out the DS-11 or DS-82 form requires attention to detail. Double-check every entry, and don’t rush. Our City Hall staff are happy to review your form to ensure accuracy. Mistakes can delay processing, and we know how important timely travel preparations are.

Passport photos in Cleora are serious business. The local pharmacy provides government-compliant images that showcase your genuine Oklahoma spirit. Wear neutral colors, avoid hats, and maintain a neutral expression – think professional, not passport-mugshot.

Visit our local government facility during their convenient morning hours. Bring all original documents, completed forms, and payment. Our staff understands that every application represents a potential journey, and they treat each one with personalized care.

After submission, you can track your passport’s progress online. Most Cleora residents receive their passport within 4-6 weeks. Once it arrives, celebrate with a slice of pie at our local diner – you’ve navigated the process like a true Delaware County champion!
