Let’s navigate your passport journey together, Pawnee style!
First things first – gather every single document like you’re preparing for the county fair competition. You’ll need birth certificate (original, not a copy), valid photo ID, and proof of Pawnee residency. Pro tip: our Historical Museum staff can sometimes help verify documentation if you’re stuck.
Not sure which type you need? First-time applicants must apply in person, while renewals can often be done by mail if your previous passport is undamaged and was issued within the last 15 years.
Passport photos aren’t just bureaucratic snapshots – they’re your travel introduction! We recommend using McGraw Park’s beautiful natural light for that perfect, official image. Avoid squinting, wear neutral colors, and remember: no sunglasses, no wild expressions. Think professional, but still authentically Pawnee.
Make copies of all documents before submitting. Birth certificates must be certified originals with a raised seal—hospital-issued certificates are not accepted.
Form DS-11 is your golden ticket. Fill it out meticulously – one wrong checkbox can send you back to square one. Use black ink, print clearly, and double-check everything. Our City Hall staff have seen every possible mistake, so don’t be afraid to ask for guidance.
Fill out Form DS-11 for new applications or DS-82 for renewals. Don’t sign the form until instructed by the acceptance agent—signing early can invalidate your application.
Bring everything to Pawnee City Hall between 9am-4pm. Our processing team treats each application like it’s going to the Olympics. Expect friendly service, thorough checking, and maybe even a chat about your travel plans. Bring cash or credit for fees – we’re modern like that!
Passport photos must be 2×2 inches, taken within the last 6 months, with a plain white background. Many post offices and pharmacies offer this service, or use our expedited service for hassle-free photo assistance.
After submission, you’ll get a tracking number faster than our annual rodeo sells out. Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks, expedited services run 2-3 weeks. Our City Hall can help you monitor progress, and we’ll call you the moment it arrives. Small town service, big world connections!
Standard processing takes 6-8 weeks. Need it faster? Our expedited service can get your passport in as little as 3 business days with zero errors guaranteed. Call (800) 860-8610 to get started.
When your passport arrives, swing by City Hall for pickup. We’ll have it ready, sealed, and looking sharp. Consider grabbing a celebratory coffee at our local diner afterwards – because in Pawnee, every document is a milestone worth toasting!
Track your application status online at the State Department’s website using your last name, date of birth, and last 4 digits of your Social Security number. Updates typically appear within 7-10 days of submission.
