First things first – are you a first-time applicant or looking to renew? If you’re new to the passport game, you’ll need to appear in person. Renewals offer more flexibility, much like how our town adapts to changing times. Dig out your birth certificate and be prepared to showcase your Heavener roots.

Documentation is key – think of gathering paperwork like preparing for a mining expedition. You’ll need proof of citizenship, valid photo ID, and social security card. Pro tip: our local County Courthouse staff can often help verify document authenticity if you’re unsure.

Passport photos are your travel ticket’s first impression. Our local drugstore offers professional shots that meet strict government requirements. No selfies allowed – think professional, like you’re representing Heavener on the world stage.

Form DS-11 is your new best friend for first-time passports. Fill it out meticulously – one mistake can delay your travel dreams faster than a coal seam can collapse. Consider completing the form at the County Courthouse for potential assistance.

Bring all documents to an authorized passport acceptance facility. In Heavener, that means the County Courthouse or select post office locations. Double-check everything – our community values precision and thoroughness.

Passport fees vary based on book or card, adult or child. Budget accordingly – think of it as investing in your future adventures beyond Heavener’s beautiful landscape. Cash, check, and credit are typically accepted at processing locations.
